Just a tad of update on the CVR search from 3 days ago, according to the Indonesia Times. The NTSC are bringing in a new vessel, which has - as I understand it - enhanced capacity to remain accurately positioned even in awkward seas.

NTSC will still conduct a CVR search using more sophisticated tools from Johor, Malaysia. Ony explained that ships that are imported do not need to use anchors and are equipped with 'dynamic positioning' facilities. "If the boat is rocked to the left, if you want to stay at the location, it will come back again, so you don't need to anchor," he said.....The Head of the NTSC Aviation Committee Sub Nurcahyo Utomo added that currently the ship is still in Singapore and must take equipment in Johor, Malaysia."We have submitted a licensing process in the form of underwater operations and closure of the area at the search location. We prepare these two things hopefully in the near future everything will happen and the search will begin," he said ..
