Did that once.....was a hell of a job..
You can easily double the aircraft weight when the helo is completely under water.
Depending upon the time the airframe was submerged, it might have been "sucked" into the muddy underground-and it might be quiet difficult to get it out.
I would go for a Huey (or similar).
