A multinational effort was launched to find and retrieve the remains of the divers.
The bodies of four missing Italian scuba divers who died last week have been found, Maldives government said Monday, following a fraught mission to locate them in an underwater cave.
Five Italians died while exploring the Vaavu Atoll caves on Thursday, prompting a multinational effort to find and retrieve their remains.
One of them was discovered that same day at the entrance to the maze-like cave. International cave divers teamed up with Maldivian experts to try to locate the remains of the other four.
