Summary

The Maldives police have launched an investigation into how 5 experienced Italian divers ended up nearly 50 meters below the surface in a maze of caves. Their bodies were finally located, far below the 30 meter diving limit in the area, huddled together. A veteran local rescue diver died over the weekend searching for the missing divers, and now a plan is carefully being made to try and recover the bodies of the Italian divers over the next two days.
