It does have a lot of characteristics that indicate it's a hoax.
The photographs provided have a very low quality - I'd be able to repeat them within five miles of my house with any underwater camera and a small disc. Even the sand and visible area are similar to what I could expect to find in a local pond.
Judging from the level of detail on the photograph in the article, it either has metre-long cuts with giant visible textures or it's a smaller object. If the object in the photograph is the size of a passenger jet, the size of those grains of sand must be enormous. From that perspective, I doubt the object is the size of a large bus, let alone a passenger jet.
The people talking about it were very cryptic in describing the future course of action. The wording is more similar to that of a publicity stunt than to that of an amazed team finding new insights.
They're a professional diving team, but they've spent months supposedly investigating this already. If there is a hole in the top, it's relatively easy for professional divers to get their hands on a remote-controlled submersible similar to those used to explore Titanic's interior. These people were supposedly able to salvage bottles of champagne from a shipwreck from 1916. If they haven't yet explored the object's interior yet, they're clearly not that professional.
I think it's a hoax.

Not only did they discover a USO...they discovered the worlds largest collection of sand grains near the USO! Must have been caused by the super large doses of radiation propellant.
