The three explosion sites are at depths of 70 - 80 meters. That would require a trained diver with professional equipment, or an underwater drone. Not that professional divers don't go deeper. But a recreational scuba diver, with readily available gear would dive to max half that depth.

Could the explosives have been lowered on a rope from a boat with no diver?

In theory, yes. In practice, the wind and the currents make it extremely hard to put the load in a vicinity of the pipe at 80 m depth.

Or just dropped, like a depth charge.
