Of course there will be fallout, but much less severe than a meltdown on land. Water is extremely effective in containing radiation, and the ocean is so huge it will be dilutet to neligible amount very quickly.

Are you basing this on actually knowing this, because it sounds doubtful to me. The ocean would probably dilute a bit, maybe even a bunch, but it'll also lead to contamination of everything around there, the bottom, the animals, and so on, the radiation doesn't suddenly "disappear" in "thin" water.
