Bodies of missing Italian divers found in the Maldives

# The bodies of four Italian divers who went missing during a scuba diving accident in the Maldives last week have been located. Officials confirmed the Italians were found inside a 60-metre-deep cave in Vaavu Atoll by a joint team of highly trained Finnish and Maldivian divers. The body of a fifth Italian diver, a member of the group, had already been recovered shortly after Thursday’s accident. This is believed to be the worst single diving accident in the tiny Indian Ocean nation, a popular tourist destination.
