The Cessna 414 aircraft was reported down shortly before 1 p.m., according to San Diego Fire Rescue and the U.S. Coast Guard.
"A debris field has been located, but I do not currently have the size of it," Coast Guard Petty Officer Ryan Graves told NBC 7 shortly before 3:30 p.m.
In it's latest update the USCG said that the depth of the water below the debris field is reported to be 200 feet.
The search at the scene of the crash will continue throughout the night, according to a statement shared to NBC 7 by the U.S. Coast Guard.

NBC 7 spoke to a witness who said that while he was out surfing on Sunday afternoon, he heard a plane and thought they were doing stunts in the air.
"I saw him come down at angle. He wasn't flying straight to the ground," said Tyson Wislofsky. "The next time he came out of the clouds, he went straight into the water. Full throttle."
