Sure you can, here's an example.

Attach one of those to a diver at popular destinations. On Google maps, show a little video icon. Click the icon, watch, and look around as they swim the location. It's now easier to navigate, and gives you a better representation of snorkelling or diving in that area.

I was expecting a response like this, since I'm aware of these Immersive Media videos. But YouTube doesn't handle these type of videos (yet). They also don't let you control which direction you'd like to travel in.

Street View is more convenient as it offers the same 360 degree view as the Immersive Media videos yet more control like zoom and navigation.
