SANTA BARBARA, Calif.-The sixth anniversary of the deadly Conception dive boat fire is on Sept. 2.

Mick Kronman took a seat by the memorial and reflected on the tragedy.
"I was Harbor Master at the time it happened and I wanted to take the time today as I do every year to come here and pay my respects to the people who lost their lives in this unmitigated tragedy," said Kronman.

Conception Captain Jerry Boylan was convicted of seaman's manslaughter and sentenced to four years in prison, but he is out on bail while the decision is under appeal.
