DJI did end up replacing it at no cost.. "warranty issue"

DJI determined that it was a "warranty issue" and replaced the drone and battery at no cost. Not the 128Gb memory microSD card though.

MA2 .. and DJI is shipping a new one as I type this... fully covered under warranty

**UPDATE** The flight data engineers at DJI have determined that whatever caused my drone to drop into the lake (they didn't give specifics) is a covered by the warranty. DJI is shipping me a replacement at no cost!!! Thanks everyone for the help and advice.

Possible... there were some in the area.. small ones.. I won't fly if I see Hawks or Eagles around. I was watching my screen when it all went wrong so I couldn't tell

I've posted an ad on Facebook seeking someone that can snorkel or scuba in the area.. $150 reward lol

I just to give a huge thank you to everyone for their time and support.. I'll probably still have to pay the flyaway replacement fee to DJI... but at least I have some ammo to argue my case with I don't think so... my MCDatFlightRecord folder is empty

I've seen a bunch of video of drones hitting the water and you can usually see for a few seconds after it hits... mine seemed to shut off at about 120ft up.

This was my first flight out there with my Mavic but I had just flown 3 batteries worth with my FPV combo prior to that ... during that time I seen a few birds get close.

Hey Folks! I'm Rob Licensed UAV pilot with the Advanced Operations endorsement... I mostly fly my DJI FPV combo.. .... because my Mavic Air 2 dropped like a stone into Gull Lake yesterday... I tried finding it but without a diving mask could see anything down there.. check out the vid... I...

I've seen a few other posts regarding the same situation... my drone all of a sudden dropped out of the sky and into a lake... I have a care plane with DJI so I'll get another.. I'm hoping maybe the experts here can help me understand what went wrong.. Here's a link to the video... the last 20...
