TL;DR Summary
Five Italian divers who died while exploring a 50-metre-deep underwater cave near Alimatha in the Maldives may have become lost in a three-chamber cave system, with a sandbank concealing the route back; rescuers say there was little chance of returning due to limited air and depth, four bodies were later recovered by Finnish divers assisting Dan Europe, and a Maldivian rescuer also died during the operation. Italy offered condolences to the Maldives as the investigation continues.
