Dale Sheckler, 62, had

planned to join the Labor

Day weekend excursion

aboard the Conception. The

longtime diver was drawn to

marine life and was prepar-

ing to take photos for an up-

coming article in California

Diving News.

The trip had been on his

calendar until eight weeks

ago, when hip surgery de-

railed his plans.

Then, on Labor Day, a

massive fire erupted aboard

the Conception as the 75-

foot vessel was anchored off

Santa Cruz Island, killing 34.

One victim is still missing

and presumed dead, author-

ities said Wednesday.

For decades, Sheckler

oversaw California Diving

News, which he launched

with his wife in 1984 — just

three years after the Con-

ception first launched.

In the more than 30 years

since then, the Torrance res-

ident estimates that he has

made 100 dives from the

boat. He last boarded it in

July 2018.

When his brother-in-law

sent him a text Monday

morning about what is now

being described as the worst

maritime disaster in mod-

ern California history,

Sheckler said he was horri-

fied. He knows Jerry Boylan,

the captain who was able to

escape the fire, and knew

Kristy Finstad, the marine

biologist who helped lead

the Labor Day excursion,

who did not escape.

“She was very cheerful

and leader-oriented,”

Sheckler said of the 41-year-

old. “She cared about the

people who were on her

trips. She cared about their

enjoyment.”

Sheckler, who still writes

for the magazine he sold a

few years ago, described the

Conception as an “excel-

lently maintained vessel”

with a quality crew. Glen

Fritzler, the owner of Truth

Aquatics, the company that

ran the Conception, won a

California Scuba Service

Award last year.

In Sheckler’s experience,

he said, almost immediately

after boarding the boat —

and often before leaving the

dock — the crew always gave

an extensive safety briefing.

He said he never feared the

threat of fire while aboard

the Conception or any other

dive boat in California.

“They tell you what to do

in the event of a sinking.

They talk about where the

fire extinguishers are avail-

able,” he said. “That’s the

only mention of fire.”

Investigators are still

searching for answers as to

what started the blaze, and

why those on board were un-

able to escape.

A LONGTIME DIVER describes the Conception as an “excellently maintained vessel” with a quality crew.
