Last update: an hour agoCave Dive Tragedy: Maldives authorities say the bodies of four missing Italian divers have been found deep inside Thinwana Kandu, the “Shark Cave” in Vaavu Atoll, in the cave’s third and deepest segment—four days after the group vanished during a dive near Alimathaa; the fifth diver’s body was recovered earlier, and a Maldivian National Defence Force rescue diver died during the recovery effort after decompression sickness, bringing the total to six. Investigation Focus: Officials are now probing what went wrong, including whether the team descended far beyond the Maldives recreational limit of 30m, and how procedures and permits were handled for what was described as a research dive. Recovery Mode: An international Finnish deep-cave team helped locate the victims, and further dives are planned to retrieve the remains. Tech & Policy: MINDCo and Bank of Maldives launched the Maldives AI Lab under the Maldives 2.0 push, starting Co.Lab 26 with government and fintech AI use-cases.
