Terrible. We were on the Spirit of Adventure's maiden trip in the late seventies to dive San Clemente Island from San Pedro. It had private, A/C cabins and was very nice. Later it sunk somewhere off Hawaii but was recovered. This boat had all the cabins below and evidently the explosion was from the galley above and they couldn't get out and were only 20 yards from shore in 70 feet of water, Must have been horrific.
