What if the collar is designed with failsafes that go off if they lose radio contact, or if the collar is interfered with in any serious way.

This plan seems fraught with danger.

Less fraught with danger than trying to murder everyone on an island in three days? If it has a "failsafe" then it has delicate electronic equipment. Scratch it open slightly and go for a swim. Or just go for a swim. It's excruciatingly difficult to water proof electronic equipment, especially to any depth - as a diver you become keenly aware of this. Timer/failsafe = toast.

EDIT: honestly the signal producer/receiver would also probably be toast at that point, so you might be able to skip the cave thing altogether. And if they've waterproofed it in any way there will be seals. Damage one of the seals, then do it. Given that seals are generally rubber, and given that the collars would be damaged in any sort of rough fighting - which must be something they'd have to account for if they want to see people fight to the death - they can't have a built-in sensor to detect small dents, scratches, etc. Maybe something if the device is opened completely, but a grain-sized hole in a rubber or plastic seal? Couldn't work. Then go swimming! Problem solved.

Frankly, I'd say that's the braver course of action than killing everyone. If it works, you've saved them all. Either way you're risking your own life. Would rather do so selflessly or selfishly?

Going for a swim would mean you leave the island, which means your collar explodes anyway. IIRC there weren't any landbound bodies of water, and no guarantee it'd rain within 3 days

No it wouldn't. Just dunk your head. Get a bucket or rig up a pool if you need to. Moreover, the equipment that's causing the collar to explode would be fried underwater (either a cellular or radio receiver if you're being monitored - meaning the person monitoring you needs line of sight so simply do it in a hidden location/at night; alternatively a GPS tracking device that wouldn't be able to tell the difference between "no water beach at low tide" and "underwater beach at hide tide" based on absolute position anyway), so that's more or less moot if you damage the seals and go for it. It wouldn't go off.
