Divers recover last 2 bodies of Italians from cave in Maldives

Divers have recovered the last two bodies of the four Italians who died deep inside an underwater cave in the Maldives last week.

The Italian divers had been exploring the cave in Vaavu Atoll last Thursday when they disappeared.

The body of their Italian diving instructor was recovered outside the cave, and the Finnish recovery divers brought the bodies of two of the divers to the surface Tuesday.

Maldives President’s Spokesman Mohameed Hussain Shareef said Wednesday that three Finnish divers have brought out the last remaining bodies.

A local military diver died in an earlier recovery attempt.

The bodies of the Italians will be brought to a morgue in the capital and soon be repatriated.
