A group of three rescue divers managed to pull the bodies of five Italians back to the surface after they were found inside a cave complex in a Maldives holiday hotspot

The bodies were found at a depth that was twice the legal depth for recreational diving in the island nation. Two bodies have yet to be recovered.

A specialist international dive rescue team recovered the remains of two of four Italians five days after they were killed scuba diving in the Maldives.

Maldivian authorities say they are probing whether the group descended far deeper than expected
