Bodies of Italian divers located

An elite team of Finnish divers has recovered the final two bodies of a group of Italian tourists who died in an underwater cave in the Maldives.

The five victims, including four researchers and their instructor, disappeared last Thursday while exploring a deep cave system in Vaavu Atoll.

Experts suggest the divers may have been 'sucked in' to an undersea chamber by a freak current and were unable to escape before their oxygen ran out.

The incident is considered the deadliest diving tragedy in the history of the island nation.
