Often when someone jumps or falls off of a small boat, there will be some instability felt, and on a very small boat it can cause the boat to flip.

But, if you are relating this to physics, you will note that the mass of the boat (and cargo) would have decreased, say by 100 Kilos when the diver went overboard. This would mean that about 100 liters less of water will be displaced by the boat, and it would ride higher in the water.
