Five Italian divers died in the Maldives after disappearing during a scuba expedition near Vaavu Atoll. Maldivian officials said the group, which included an instructor, was believed to have been exploring a deep underwater cave when the accident happened on Thursday.
Maldivian authorities conducted a high-risk search for the bodies of four Italian divers who died in a scuba accident in a deep underwater cave. The group included an ecology professor and her daughter.
Rescuers located the bodies of four Italian divers deep inside an underwater cave in the Maldives, four days after they were reported missing. The search had resumed after being suspended following the death of a local military diver during a perilous mission to try to reach them.
