I’ve been on this boat.
It was well run and one of the best operations on the West Coast.
The first thing that would have caught fire would have been the bunk privacy curtains.
I am not sure if I would have been brave enough to push a burning curtain out of the way and fight my way to the stairs thru screaming friends and family.
It was tight down below decks.
Many divers who have been on Conception have been debating this.
They don’t blame the crew as their was probably little they could have done.
Not when it mattered.
Was it too much of a bother to have a fire and flooding watch? Not necessary? Too much work?
Great way to finish your career in the dive boat business, Truth Aquatics - you sick sonsabitches
