Air Asia Indonesia's update tonight states that today's operation was called off due to strong currents. The decision to abandon recovery was made in part because observations of the fuselage have led investigators to believe there are no further bodies to be recovered from this part of the wreckage. (I suppose the cynical part of me observes that two failed attempts to haul the wreckage aboard a recovery vessel, the second of which resulted in the fuselage breaking into two pieces, is not likely to have helped that situation.)

I'm disappointed there has not been confirmation of the location of the cockpit or recovery of occupants. Whilst it may not be of material benefit after recovery of the FDR and CVR, it would have been fitting to lay them to rest, having gone down fighting it seems.
