The scuba diving boat caught fire September 2 near Santa Cruz Island, off the coast of Ventura, California.
34 out of 39 people on board died in the fire including all 33 passengers and one crew member.
The captain of the boat and four crew members made an escape by paddling to a nearby boat.
In a preliminary report released on Thursday, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) said that all six members of the crew were found to be sleeping as the fire broke out.
No criminal charges have been made in connection with the fire as of yet.
