The U.S. Coast Guard and Puerto Rican police planned to resume the search today. .
The pilot and all five passengers were identified as U.S. citizens, the Coast said.
Among the passengers was Ralph Christiansen, an executive at the Puerto Rican insurance broker Marsh Saldana Inc., according to a company spokesman. Officials said they were still confirming the identities of the others.

Beverly Hills clinic treated mother
The mother of octuplets was implanted with those embryos at a Beverly Hills fertility clinic run by a specialist who pioneered a method of implantation.
Dr. Michael Kamrava’s name emerged Monday as a result of an interview aired Monday on NBC with Nadya Suleman, who gave birth to eight Jan. 26.
Kamrava, 57, would not comment on the issue, but told reporters outside his Rodeo Drive clinic that he had granted an interview to a TV network. When asked to provide more detail, he said, “Watch the news.”
Without identifying the doctor, the Medical Board of California said last week it was looking into the Suleman case to see if there was a “violation of the standard of care.” The medical board said Monday it has not taken any disciplinary action against Kamrava in the past.
In the NBC interview, Suleman did not identify her doctor, but said that she went to the West Coast IVF Clinic in Beverly Hills – of which Kamrava is director – and that all 14 of her children were conceived with help from the same doctor. In 2006, TV station KTLA ran a story on infertility that showed Kamrava treating Suleman and discussing embryo implantation.
