Yes, the Russians did it in the middle of a desert, and they weren't sure it would even work.
Detonating a nuke for something like this on the sea bed sounds like a bad idea to me. It seems like a huge risk considering the minimal amount of control you have over the situation and the environment.
If something goes wrong, it would seem to me that it would go very, very wrong.
