NEW YORK—The divers who try to recover more bodies and debris from the AirAsia jet that plunged into the sea won’t have to deal with extreme depths, but they will have to work carefully to preserve evidence from the Airbus A320 that dropped from the sky with 162 people on board.

Their work will be critical — both to the crash investigation and the grieving relatives who lost loved ones.
