Easy quest, just take care for Coral Shark (46 elite) wandering near there
You can find the cannon balls on the bottom of the reef right next to the ship. Fairly easy, only a few sharks watching out for them :-)

Description
Help out a fellow swabbie? Keelhaul asked me to gather up some cannonballs at the bottom of the ocean. Let me tell you why this doesn't work for me. - One: I have tiny arms. Look at them! Do you really think I can pick up a cannonball, even underwater? - Two: I have a weak respiratory system. I start to white out after holding my breath for more than ten seconds. - Three: There are sharks. You gotta help me, {name}! I've been demoted as far as I can... I don't want to see what comes next!
