Although the police divers were in the water pretty quickly and they are well trained and good at what they do, it would seem to me they likely missed Nicola's body and sadly over the days it moved further and further, potentially she didn't go in roughly in line with the bench and maybe walked a bit of a distance before entering, which maybe meant the searches of the water stayed in an area that was perhaps not expanded quickly enough, but they did search considerably before PF turned up.
There are several cases you can find in the UK of people going into rivers and canals and police divers searching quickly but not finding the person, only for the body to surface weeks or months down the line. As the SIO said, water is a very difficult area to search.
PF really didn't help with his comments, such as 'impossible', because as he was pushed by the media as a leading expert, many of the public believed he must be correct and the police wrong, the public didn't bother to do even a little bit of basic google research that would have show nothing is impossible when it comes to bodies in water.
