An object spotted by sonar late Sunday turned out to be debris, fire spokesman Kevin Cartwright said.
The Seaport Taxi capsized March 6, sending all 25 people on board into the chilly water as wind gusted to 55 mph.
Two people died that day and two bodies were recovered Sunday, one of them the fiance of 26-year-old Corinne Schillings, who is still missing.
The search will follow the pattern established earlier, Cartwright said. Crews will probe the pitch black depths of a 60-foot shipping channel using sonar and a remote-controlled submarine. When they locate an object that appears promising, divers will enter for a closer look.
``It'll be repetitious,'' said Cartwright.
On Sunday, divers found the bodies of Schillings' intended husband, Andrew Roccella, 26, and 6-year-old Daniel Bentrem of Harrisonburg, Va. Daniel's 8-year-old sister, Sarah Bentrem, remained in critical condition Monday at University of Maryland Medical Center. She is the only victim still hospitalized.
The children were on the water taxi with their parents and 7-year-old sister, who were rescued.
Divers had to go into the water nearly 30 times before locating the bodies recovered Sunday because of the cold and poor visibility. Other promising targets turned out to be tree stumps, lumber and mounds of dirt.
At the time of the accident, the captain was attempting to steer the pontoon boat to shore after receiving a radio warning of the storm from the Living Classrooms Foundation, which operates the Seaport Taxi fleet. There were life jackets on board for everyone, but passengers were not required to wear them.
