Assuming you can find/identify your ball, the following from 25-1 applies:

(ii) In a Bunker: If the ball is in a bunker, the player must lift the ball and drop it either:

(a) Without penalty, in accordance with Clause (i) above, except that the nearest point of relief must be in the bunker and the ball must be dropped in the bunker, or if complete relief is impossible, as near as possible to the spot where the ball lay, but not nearer the hole, on a part of the course in the bunker that affords maximum available relief from the condition; or
(b) Under penalty of one stroke, outside the bunker, keeping the point where the ball lay directly between the hole and the spot on which the ball is dropped, with no limit to how far behind the bunker the ball may be dropped.

[AAA]

If your ball is lost in the water in the bunker you may substitute another ball and take relief as above.

What if the bunker is truly filled with water and there's no place to drop the ball. Are you forced to take the penalty?

[AAA]

'fraid so.
