A privately registered float-equipped Quicksilver Challenger II aircraft was on a local area pleasure flight operating from Lake Deception, near Lower Ohio, Nova Scotia. During a glassy water landing the aircraft touched down hard and the fiberglass floats were immediately compromised. The aircraft sank below the lake surface. The uninjured pilot extracted himself from the aircraft and swam to shore.
The pilot had taken aircraft egress training in the past year.
In addition to damaged floats the aircraft received some structural damage due to the impact.
