Shocking reports are arriving from an expert veteran Maldavian diver who says that the team of scuba divers who went missing were reportedly not given the authorization to carry out such a deep dive.
He also alleged that everyone knows the rules and those rules are designed for a purpose that should be obeyed at all costs. The death toll of the incident has risen to 6, including a native diver who was part of the rescue mission trying to locate the remains of the five missing Italian divers inside an underwater cave.
So far, only one body has been retrieved while divers continue to carry out a dangerous search mission to locate the others.
The weather conditions on the day of the incident were also not good, with a yellow alert being issued that comprised warnings of traveling and diving in the sea.
The cause of the tragedy is yet to be revealed, but experts claim the divers were not authorized to dive down so deep, as that can lead to horrifying consequences, as can be seen in this tragedy. So far, oxygen toxicity and poor weather have been some of the possible factors that may have played a role in their deaths.
