For the past five days, the Sheriff's Dive Team and Marine Enforcement Division have been searching the area where the plane went down. Using sonar equipment, they are trying to locate the plane and potentially any bodies from the crash site. In addition to the sonar, Dive Team members used an underwater camera that was on loan from the Ventura County Sheriff's Office. No items were recovered today, but they did mark some areas of interest. Tomorrow, Dive Team members will go back in the water to investigate those areas.
