I wouldn't bet on it. Explosives underwater are much more powerful due to the incompressibility of water.
A fun experiment you can try is tossing a firecracker in a full 5 gallon bucket you don't mind losing. That's 5-10 milligrams of a lower grade explosive than grenades.
I remember launching cans way up with firecrackers,I don't need to do it again.
But I remember the size bombs their were using in ww2 to bust dams....
