    I have never seen props in such good condition from a water landing. Almost as if it was dropped in the water from a low height..

    I think that is from an artificial reef project in Phuket Thailand.....if you Google or Bing Phuket Artificial Reef Squadron you'll get more information.

    Looks the most likely candidate Jugs, except for the props....Looking at the site and some vids, the aircraft are without props and commentary states all sharp objects have to be removed..

    But looks like it could be there.
