Since the gunpowder is between the bullet and the casing when the firing pin is struck by the hammer I'd guess it would fire. Of course since water is thicker than air it would probably have limited range. And the deeper you would go the less light you would have so you might have trouble seeing your target. Your shooter could become part of the menu if he wasn't careful as well since sharks can smell even a little bit of blood at a good distance. And anything in the area would be fair game for them to nibble on (including the shooter). I'd think it would have to be a personal firearm as well rather than a rifle or something like that. Most guns on a navel vessel would probably be under lock and key unless needed. Have you thought of using a spear gun instead? Much easier to get hold of I'd think and the shooter might even be able to get away with shooting someone with it and claiming it was an accident.
