A balloon which can carry up to ten tonnes weight is being used in an endeavour to recover the tail section.
The Straits Times are talking about using a crane to retrieve the tail section

Divers search wreckage of plane's tail for black boxes

But maybe an air filled balloon is being used to get it off the bottom and up to the surface.
