Despite murky water and a strong underwater current, Indonesian Navy divers were able to film images that showed parts of the plane, including what appeared to be its fuselage and the letters 'PK'.
Strong currents and blinding silt thwarted an attempt by divers to find the plane's black boxes on Thursday, which they hope are still located in the recently discovered tail of the plane.
The flight data and cockpit voice recorders, which are crucial to help determine what caused the jet to go down with 162 people aboard on December 28, are located in the rear of the aircraft.
Three more bodies meanwhile were retrieved from the sea on Thursday, bringing to 43 the number of victims recovered so far. Officials are hopeful many of the 119 bodies still unaccounted for will be found inside the fuselage.
