LOS ANGELES, Sept. 2 (Xinhua) -- Twenty-five bodies have been recovered and nine people remain unaccounted for after a dive boat caught fire off the Santa Cruz Island in Southern California, local media reported Tuesday.
Four bodies were recovered Monday morning and 15 more were recovered later in the day, according to the Associated Press citing U.S. Coast Guard reports. Five others have been found but not yet recovered due to unsafe conditions, it reported.
