No no no. Most of these yachts are aluminum hull. What you need is a scraper for the paint and a syringe full of gallium. Actually you could probably just scratch up a hull with a soap block of gallium and it'd do the trick. Gallium eats aluminum like cancer.
Are you sure about that? Because almost every displacement hull vessel is steel.
Also, just do it properly and build a bomb. That's a proven solution.
Username checks out
A bomb with a timer seems much safer. Diving near a mega yacht that’s taking on water seems dangerous. The pressure differential could make it difficult to swim away and if it actually starts to sink while you’re nearby, you could get pulled under. (I’m not a diving expert but this is definitely something that would require actual expertise)
Oh, imagine getting sucked into the hole.
If there's a big enough pressure difference, a human will be sucked through even a very small hole. Even just being stuck there until your air ran out wouldn't be fun.
Hmm, I forgot about this.
