From BBC News:
Four bodies have been recovered and four more spotted on the ocean floor after a boat was destroyed by fire off the coast of California, US authorities said.
Five crew of the commercial diving boat Conception escaped the blaze.
The fire started in the early hours of Monday. The boat was anchored just metres off Santa Cruz Island, about 90 miles (145km) west of Los Angeles.
The vessel is now submerged as a search and rescue operation continues.
At a press conference, Sheriff Bill Brown said 39 people were on board the vessel when fire broke out.

[Coast Guard] Capt Rochester said the boat was "fully in compliance" with safety regulations, and had no prior violations.
She said the search efforts would continue into Tuesday morning, but that "we should all be prepared [for] the worst outcome".
