Rescuers located the bodies of four Italian divers<\/a> deep inside an underwater cave in the Maldives, days after the group vanished during a dangerous dive far beyond recreational limits, Italy\u2019s Foreign Ministry said Monday.<\/p>\n

Officials said Finnish cave-diving specialists found the bodies in the innermost section of the cave system in Vaavu Atoll<\/a>, where the divers disappeared Thursday while exploring at a depth of about 160 feet. The recreational diving limit in the Maldives is 98 feet.<\/p>\n

“As was previously thought, the four bodies were found inside the cave, not only inside the cave but well inside the cave into the third segment of the cave, which is the largest part,” Maldives government spokesman Ahmed Shaam said, adding the victims were found “pretty much together.”<\/p>\n

The Thinwana Kandu cave system where the bodies were found is known locally as “shark cave.”<\/p>\n

Recovery crews plan to retrieve two bodies Tuesday and the remaining two the following day, officials said.<\/p>\n

The discovery came after authorities resumed the search following the death of a Maldivian military diver<\/a> involved in the rescue mission. Mohamed Mahdi died Saturday from decompression sickness after attempting to reach the trapped divers.<\/p>\n

A fifth Italian diver, identified earlier as a diving instructor, was previously found dead outside the cave.<\/p>\n

The specialized Finnish team<\/a> used advanced closed-circuit rebreather systems, allowing for longer and deeper dives in the cave\u2019s confined environment.<\/p>\n

Rough seas and hazardous underwater conditions repeatedly delayed search efforts as crews mapped and marked the cave entrance before pushing deeper inside.<\/p>\n

Authorities continue to investigate the situation and what led to the divers’ deaths.<\/p>\n
