Depends on how hard you clap your hands together and also on the shape on how you hold your hands underwater. I've been practicing clapping underwater for about 4 summers and i've managed to clap underwater. It requires larger force to clap. I believe that cavitation occurs between the hands and the sound is made. See Related Link for a video about my action taken at a local lake.
