A member of the diving team that recovered the bodies of the five Italian scuba divers who drowned in the Maldives said their equipment “was not optimal.”
Four of the divers’ bodies were found together in a cave 164 feet underwater.
The divers died just 15 minutes from reaching the surface.
Finnish diver Sami Paakkarinen told Italian media that “tragic human error” was the main reason for their deaths.
