Because the AUV cameras look straight down from the altitude of the AUV, probably 10m (+/-5m). Hopefully, the recorders are still in the tail, and simply can't be seen when viewed directly from above. Less likely (due to the required coincidence) one or both recorders are elsewhere and covered by another piece of debris. I expect the tail will be the first stop for the ROV, which will have the ability to look inside and under things.
