Trying to understand the charge against the captain.
Is the basis of the charge that he was in charge of the boat & crew and they did not have a "roving patrol" while the rest of the passengers were sleeping? And even though it appeared to be a companywide practice to not have one, the captain is required to be knowledgeable of the regulations and therefore is criminally liable?
Also, from the wiki page, it appeared that not having a roving patrol was standard for that company, I am surprised they were able to limit their liability to the value of the vessel after it sank, $0 USD

On November 6, 2023, the captain, Jerry Nehl Boylan, was found guilty of one count of misconduct or neglect of ship officer, colloquially known as "seaman’s manslaughter".

I have been on a lot of liveabord dive trips. The two big changes since this fire: (1) One of the crew is assigned to serve as night fire watch, and (2) no charging of lithium batteries below unless you are in your room with it.

I was in Santa Barbara last week. Could have been me.
