The owner of the Conception dive boat that caught fire off the Channel Islands, killing 34 below deck, has sold the two remaining boats in the fleet amid a flurry of new lawsuits filed by the victims’ families.
Truth Aquatics was cited by the National Transportation Safety Board for poor oversight and a lack of a required roving night watch in the Labor Day 2019 deaths on the Conception. The buyer of the two vessels is a newly formed company, Channel Island Expeditions, described by the U.S. Coast Guard as being led by longtime adventurers in the oceans around the coastal islands.
