I would think so. I was in a 6-man rubber raft that went over a
small falls and under water and though I wasn't tied to the raft, I
went under water too. How much more so with a big ship.
But it could be because of your motion dynamics,
as you inertially continue water under,
until your buoyancy gradually reverted your velocity.
