Dec 9, 2018 at 19:08 comment added summerrain @RodrigodeAzevedo: My question was not how to find the haystack (huge debris field) but the needle (one specific piece) in the haystack. I hope you see the difference. Also the Titanic wreckage was easily visible on sonar images. You can find an entire debris field by ensonification, yes, but not a single piece as small as a CVR (let alone if covered by mud).

Once they start bringing up large sections, they can figure out the approximate location of the CVR in relation to the parts they recover. This will narrow the search area and then they can dredge to find the box if it is not part of the larger wreckage.
