Four bodies have been recovered near the 75-foot dive boat that caught fire off the coast of Southern California, a US Coast Guard spokesman said.  

Lt Cmdr Matthew Kroll told AP the bodies recovered on Monday morning had injuries consistent with drowning.

Rescue crews are still searching for 29 people who were sleeping below deck on the vessel Conception when it burst into flames in the middle of the night while anchored 20 yards off of Platts Harbor on the north side of Santa Cruz Island.  

Coast Guard Sector Los Angeles-Long Beach received a mayday call just before 3.30am local time Monday.

In chilling audio the person who made the call can be heard telling a dispatcher: ‘I can’t breathe.’

Crews from the Coast Guard, Santa Barbara Fire Department, Ventura County Fire Department and Vessel Assist responded to the scene, along with multiple personal watercraft in the area.
