Santa Cruz family of 4 dies in plane crash

Even if the details are not correct, they were local divers.

My condolences to the family.

Looks like the article may have been flushed out some more and confirms the details.

My sympathy goes out to their extended family and to their dive shop.

Thank you all, its true, the owners of Aqua Safaris Scuba Center in Santa Cruz, Dede and David Houghton, along with their two young sons Ryan and Luke died last night when their small plane crashed shortly after take off from the Watsonville airport. The shop has temporarily been closed until family arrives. All of us employees and instructors here at AS are in a state of shock and will greatly miss this family that was not only our bosses but friends. They were very active in the community and very generous to all...

Dede and David were very generous and inclusive. I remember the older son grilling kelp for us during the dive shop dives at McAbee's. This is a huge loss. My condolences to their loved ones.
