A military diver also died during the search operation being conducted after the death of 5 Italian divers in Maldives. According to the Maldives government, Army Staff Sergeant Mohammed Mahudi had become a victim of decompression sickness.
According to the government, Mohammed Mahoudi was taken to hospital, but could not be saved. Decompression sickness occurs when a diver suddenly comes up from the pressure of deep water and the effect of nitrogen gas increases in his body.
The accident occurred in the Vava’u Atoll area, where 5 Italian citizens had gone to explore underwater caves at a depth of about 50 meters. According to reports, the normal limit for scuba diving in Maldives is considered to be 30 metres.
So far the body of only one Italian diver has been recovered. Officials fear that the remaining four people got trapped in the underwater cave, resulting in their death. Read the full news…
