Tragic reports are speaking about all five bodies being recovered from a shark cave in the Maldives after a group of tourists from Italy decided to carry out an underwater excursion.
Sadly, they all died and were reported missing for nearly three days. Divers from all over the world rushed against the clock to try and find their remains, and authorities have confirmed that they were all located in the deepest portion of the shark cave.
That is nearly 150 feet underwater and is said to be a very dangerous area for even the most professional divers. While looking for the bodies, one diver from the Maldives reportedly lost his life.
Factors such as poor weather are being labeled as the possible reason for the tragedy, as a yellow alert warning was issued on that day.
Authorities fear that the divers were never authorized to go so deep, as that would have devastating consequences. Another expert says they were dead as soon as they entered the water because of just how dangerous it becomes down there, due to the mixing of gases and oxygen toxicity. Investigations are still taking place to determine the cause.
