Is this a fact based on actual calculation/experiments, or your personal theory? I don't think the solution is practical in this case for various other reasons, but the fact that offshore platforms exist incites me to think that long, underwater pipes can in fact resist ocean currents. They will also be naturally buoyant so long as there's enough air pockets in the material (or just floaters as the other person posted).
