POLICE divers have begun searching the area where Australian tourist Britt Lapthorne's body was found.
The search comes five months after Lapthorne vanished from a Dubrovnik night club and died under mysterious circumstances.
Police plan to use lights to aid their search and to record their actions on video, the Herald Sun reports.
The search comes after Britt's parents revealed they were planning their own search of the area.
The Herald Sun revealed this week that police had banned the family from conducting their own search, warning that any evidence found privately would be inadmissable in court.
Brit's body was incomplete when pulled from the water and her family have been hoping to recover her entire remains.
Her camera, bag and clothes also remain missing.
There are also questions over whether Brit's body may have been weighed down and a search could uncover evidence still on the ocean floor.
