No, because (a) that’s way, way bigger than any single bomb would make (the largest nuclear crater ever made was “only” about 390m across), and (b) actual nuclear weapon attacks would be detonated as air-bursts and therefore wouldn’t make craters at all to begin with.
The afore-mentioned crater was the result of an underground test, BTW. Also, it was designed to make a big crater, being part of Project Plowshare. The largest bomb ever detonated, the Tsar Bomba, left no crater because it was an air-burst at 4,000m altitude.
Also, a crater that big would be an extinction-level event. For comparison, Chicxulub crater, from the impact that ended the dinosaurs, is “only” about as wide as “Mossad Island” in this image.
So would this lower sea levels?

Maybe we’ll finally find Atlantis! Get that Stargate working.
SG-1 was so optimistic… im only now getting into Stargate
