If your ball comes to rest in a bunker completely filled by casual water and you cannot retrieve it, you may abandon the ball and proceed under Rule 25-b (ii), which provides a free drop (relief) for a ball lost in casual water with maximum available relief from the condition. ... To have the full story, please subscribe to Golf Malaysia today! Your options to play are: 1) drop the ball in the bunker (no penalty) at the nearest point of relief, which is not nearer the hole, where the depth of the casual water is least; or, 2) under one-penalty stroke, drop a ball outside the bunker with no limit to how far you wish to drop behind the bunker but, keeping a straight line directly from the hole to the ball. The Rules do not allow you to invoke the first option and then change your mind because you do not like the result, and then take the second option. If that happens, then Rule 25-1 (abnormal ground conditions) no longer applies. You must play the ball as it lies or proceed under Rule 28, the unplayable ball rule, incurring one penalty stroke.
