LOS ANGELES, Sept. 2 -- 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.

At about 3:30 a.m. local time (1030 GMT), U.S. Coast Guard overheard a mayday call from the boat named Conception, which was moored about 18.3 meters off the northern coast of Santa Cruz Island.
