A team of divers from the private Specialist Group International (SGI) are now assisting with the search.
The firm's founder Peter Faulding said he had spoken to Ms Bulley's partner Paul Ansell earlier.
The forensics expert said: "I mean, Paul's extremely distraught. I've just spoken to him just now where we're staying.
"And you know, my thoughts go out to the family and friends. It's a very difficult time.
"I'm used to dealing with, you know, families of drowning victims.
"It's a horrible thing to be going through not knowing where your loved one is."

INTERVIEW WITH PETER FAULDING
6TH FEBRUARY
Faulding - We've got a specialist bit of kit, high frequency side scan sonar which we've got a very high hit rate. I was the first to bring it into the UK, in 1999, and to have pioneered the use of it over here, so I can find anything with that and if Nicola is here, I'm happy that we will find her, if she is in the river.
Reporter - What's your search plan? Obviously, there's a weir on the way here. Do you search from the bench to the weir first? Do you go from the weir downwards?
Faulding - We've been tasked by Lancashire Police, we're working closely with them, so we're going to be coming down from the weir and we're going down towards the estuary, but it's a fair stretch of river and we'll be looking at the bottom. It is deep in places, shallow in places, so it's not so much of a challenge, it's more of a slower process. Normally we can cover about 10 miles of river a day with a sonar but this is quite a windy river. But it's not that wide, it's not that fast moving, so it should be quite straightforward.
Reporter - Do you worry that if the police theory is correct, as it stands at the moment, she went into the water - Do you worry that her body could have gone into the sea?
Faulding - I think it's a bit of a long stretch to go to the sea. From my experience, normally drowning victims go in and they're normally within 200/300 metres or very near where they went in, so I don't think she would have gone a long way. The river is not in flood, from the first time I've seen it today. If we had storms and there was lots of flood water then I would expect in the high flow for a body to get carried but once a drowning victim goes to the bottom they tend to stay on the bottom for 7 or 8 days and they, sort of, just move slowly along the bottom. That again... if it's flooded, that's different, but it's not.
Reporter - Do you believe that she is in the river? I think you might have cast some doubt on that.
Faulding - Well, I think the police - they're doing the right thing. The clear evidence is - the phone was by the river, the dog harness was by the river, so I think that's their only clue at the moment and we've got to be able to eliminate this river. So we can either confirm or deny what's in here today.
Reporter - In terms of those conversations with police, you say you're working with them closely - How confident do you think the police feel that that's what's happened, that she's gone in the river?
Faulding - I believe.. the police I believe, I think, that she's in here and obviously that's where the evidence is actually pointing us at the moment. The police are doing a great job. It's a big task for Lancashire police to do. This is a particularly long stretch of river to search and we just bring that backup resource to work closely with them, at this instant.
Reporter - We understand that Paul (Nicola's partner) called you personally. What can you tell us about that conversation you had with him?
Faulding - Well, Paul called me the other day to.. we spoke and he was then speaking to Lancashire Police to bring us in. That afternoon there was bit of miscommunication but they agreed to bring us in, because we do the police diving anyway for the whole of the South East. So we're a well known police operational team and we bring that expertise and we've got a very good working relationship with Lancashire Police at the moment.
Reporter - Was it difficult talking to Paul?
Faulding - Paul is extremely distraught. I've just spoken to him, just now, where we're staying and my thoughts go out to the family and friends. It's a very difficult time. I'm used to dealing with families of drowning victims, it's a horrible thing to be going through, not knowing where your loved one is and that's the.. if anyone puts them in his mind, it's is a horrible thing. You don't know where your mind is.
Reporter - If Nicola isn't found are you confident to say that she isn't in the River?
Faulding - Yes. If we can't find her in the next three or four days in this river, if she's not here, then I'm confident she's not in this stretch of river. I'd be very confident of that.
Reporter - How long are you expecting to be here today?
Faulding - I don't know how long we're going to be here. We'll probably be up here, operationally, probably for the next three or four days working. We'll do what we can for the family and to assist Lancashire Police as well so...
Reporter - And how often do you get requests like you have from Paul?
Faulding - We get a request a fair amount from families when they can't find loved ones.
Reporter - How often do you commit to them like this?
Faulding - It's very difficult operationally sometimes. We help occasionally with requests but it's very very difficult because we're an operational team, but this week we've got a free'ish diary so I could put resources up here and we are not charging. To make it clear we are not charging the police or the family for this operation and the family have actually, kindly accommodated us with some friends. So that's made our life a lot easier to be fair.
Reporter - And do you believe that she is in this water?
Faulding - I do believe she's in here, from the evidence we've got at the moment. I mean, that is what everything is pointing to the river at the moment. And there's no, there doesn't seem to be a third party involved.

Latest police update.
The detective leading the hunt for Nicola Bulley has stressed the force is doing all it can to find the missing mum-of-two as the search enters its second week.
And as part of our continuing efforts, we are again appealing for anyone with dashcam or other footage to submit it to us.
Our working hypothesis remains that Nicola, 45, sadly fell into the river for some reason, but we remain open minded, and we are continuing to carry out a huge number of enquiries.
Our priority throughout this investigation has been on finding Nicola and providing answers for her family. They are being supported by specially trained officers.
In a new statement released today Nicola’s partner Paul Ansell said: “It’s been ten days now since Nicola went missing and I have two little girls who miss their mummy desperately and who need her back. This has been such a tough time for the girls especially but also for me and all of Nicola’s family and friends, as well as the wider community and I want to thank them for their love and support. We are also really grateful to Peter and his team from SGI for coming up and helping support the work of Lancashire Police as they continue their investigation. If anyone has any information which could help find Nicola, I urge them to get in touch with the police and help us provide the answers we all so badly need.”
Our enquiries so far have included searches of the river and riverbank which have extended all the way to the sea using specialist search teams, sonar, search dogs, drone and helicopter, house to house and CCTV. We have also spoken to numerous witnesses, analysed Nicola’s mobile phone and fitbit and searched the derelict house on the other side of the river as well as any empty caravans in the vicinity.
We have received a huge amount of information into the enquiry, all of which is being looked at, and we are extremely grateful to everyone who has assisted our investigation so far.
We would like to remind people that much of the speculation and comments on social media are both unhelpful to the investigation and, more importantly, hurtful for the family, who are going through agony as they wait for answers.
Nicola was last seen on Friday morning (January 27th) at around 9.20am on the upper field by the river off Garstang Road where she had taken her Spaniel Willow for a walk after dropping her children at school in the village.
Nicola on her Ring Doorbell on Friday, Jan 27th
Our CCTV enquiries have focused on Nicola’s movements and whether she could have left the fields near to the river, whether that be via Allotment Lane, the river path leading to Garstang Road, or by Rowanwater at the top of the upper field.
Most of our sightings of Nicola have been by witnesses who knew her and that has enabled us to plot her movements from the school, along the river path and into the field.
We can say with confidence that by reviewing CCTV, Nicola has not left the field during the key times via Rowanwater, either through the site itself or via the piece of land at the side.
Also, we can say that she did not return from the fields along Allotment Lane or via the path at the rear of the Grapes pub onto Garstang Road.
Our enquiries now focus on the river path which leads from the fields back to Garstang Road – for that we need drivers and cyclists who travelled that way on the morning of January 27 to make contact. We have already done a lot of work around this, but every piece of footage helps us build up a picture of movements on that morning.
We will be making contact with drivers, who we believe were travelling down Garstang Road that morning via letter. If you receive one of these letters and have dashcam footage, we would urge you to make contact using the dedicated email [email protected] so that a member of the enquiry team can make contact and review your footage to establish whether it assists. We would ask that only drivers that do have dashcam footage reply to this request.
Today we have been joined by a search team from Specialist Group International (SGI) who are assisting us with the search of the river, and we are grateful to them for their help.
We are also grateful to all the members of the public who have come out to search and we would remind people not to put themselves at risk and to stick to public land.
Detective Supt Rebecca Smith said: “The team working on this investigation are completely dedicated and determined to find Nicola.
“As a mother myself, I can’t even begin to imagine what her two children are going through.
“Please be reassured that our sole focus is Nicola and that we are doing everything we can to find her.
“It is not possible to provide every piece of information to the public because to do so would detract from the investigation, but I’d like to thank everyone who has assisted us so far and for the support provided to Nicola’s family at this extremely difficult time.
“They are being supported and updated throughout.
“I would ask that anyone who was driving/cycling through St Michael’s last Friday morning and who has dashcam footage to get in touch with us if they haven’t already done so. I would also ask in fisherman who may have been in the area at the time to make contact if you feel you can assist.
“I would also appeal again to anyone who has any other footage – CCTV or Ring Doorbell for example, or any other information, no matter how insignificant you might think it is, to contact us as every small piece can help us build up a picture.”
As a reminder Nicola is white, 5ft 3ins tall, with light brown shoulder-length hair. She speaks with an Essex accent. She was last seen wearing a long, knee length black quilted gilet with a hood. She had a black Engelbert Strauss coat underneath which had long sleeves and came to her waist. She was wearing tight black jeans and had long green walking socks tucked into her jeans. She was wearing size 5 ankle length green wellington boots from Next.
Her hair was tied into a ponytail. She was wearing a pale blue fitbit.
Anyone with information or footage is asked to call 101, quoting log 565 of January 30
For any immediate sightings, please call 999.

He said: 'We and police are all baffled. Police were there on day one diving where the phone was found on the bench. Normally if a person has drowned, they go down within a few metres if being searched for the same day.
'Police were expecting to find her there. We will be going over that same area tomorrow. We will also be going quite a lot further up river tomorrow.
'In another couple of days I will be confident she is not in that area at all. We have the best sonar you can buy. We have scanned a huge area today and there is nothing there. I am hoping we don't find her at all and she has just done a disappearing act and returns.
He added: 'A body will move after a time, but they searched that area and came up with nothing - that is what is weird here. We are baffled.'

Cops this week revealed their "main working hypothesis" was that Nicola had "sadly fallen" into the icy River Wyre.
And last night local residents spotted more than 10 emergency vehicles on the Shard Bridge - five miles from where she vanished.
Cops confirmed they were called at 5.51pm on Monday to the area in relation to the search for the missing mum.

Everyone was trying their best yesterday to keep things as normal as possible for missing Nicola Bulley's young daughters. Friends rallied, taking the nine-year-old and six-year-old to their usual Saturday morning clubs following a sleepover.
'It's to try to retain a sense of routine,' says a friend, whose children attend the same school in St Michael's on Wyre, Lancashire. 'To take their minds off…' Her words trail away. Contemplating, even fleetingly, the girls' emotional state is impossible.
At lunchtime the girls are returned by the mother of school friends to their father, Paul Ansell. The 44-year-old gets out of his car and the girls run to him, flinging their arms round his neck.

A phone found by the river in the case of missing mum Nicola Bulley could be a DECOY, the head of specialist dive squad has admitted. Peter Faulding says it's the most baffling case he has ever worked on.

The diving expert drafted in to help police in the search for missing mother-of-two Nicola Bulley has said if he does not find her in the river today he believes she is not in there and that a third party is involved.
