Bodies of Missing Italian Divers Found in Maldives The discovery of four Italian divers' bodies in a 60 metre deep cave in the Maldives has raised serious questions about the safety protocols in place for tourists and researchers visiting the Indian Ocean nation.
The incident, described by local authorities as the worst single diving accident in the country's history, highlights the risks and responsibilities involved in the industry.
The Italian team was found to have ventured into a cave nearly twice as deep as allowed for recreational scuba divers, who are restricted to 30 metres for their own safety.
