Possibly but that would leave the US Navy out of the equation. Part of the entrance to the Baltic is barely 50' deep. It's kind of difficult to sneak one of our boats in with the sail out of the water.
Why couldn't the divers have been in the helicopters? (detectable)
And where were the helicopters operating from?
There just aren't any good ways for the US to have done this and remain undetected. That last part is EXTREMELY important. The act is tantamount to declaring war on both Germany and Russia.
I know that there are some in, and out of, the Biden Administration that would like to see Russia hurt. I hope there are enough adults left to put a stop to something like this.
There are many more who want the world to stop using non-renewable energy sources. Oddly enough this is going to greatly increase Germany's use of brown coal. This stuff is almost 20% water and low in energy relative to other forms of coal.

A big problem would be decompression times. If the divers were at 200 ft+, they would have a long decompression time on the way up to avoid the bends. If it was shallower you could use a pressure chamber to help reduce time in the water, but the smallest ones that I have seen are too large for the Navy Helos (example - https://baytechrentals.com/product/double-lock-decompression-chamber-std/ )
