More than two dozen people remain missing after eight bodies were found in the water near a 75-foot commercial diving boat that caught fire early Monday morning off Santa Cruz Island, California, sending the crew diving overboard and kick-starting a desperate rescue effort, according to authorities.
The instability of the boat, lying upside down on the bottom of the water, is making further recovery difficult, the sheriff said. Capt. Monica Rochester, U.S. Coast Guard Los Angeles Long Beach Sector Commander, said the crew members were awake at the time of the fire and jumped off of the boat into the water.The Coast Guard said it will continue to search for survivors through the night, but were prepared for the worst outcome.
"The fire department crews were fighting the fire when the vessel sank 20 yards off shore in 64 feet of water," according to a statement from the Coast Guard.
