CHILLING footage of the Maldives divers’ final moments could finally reveal how the tragedy unfolded after rescue workers recovered bodycams from their remains.

All five bodies of the Italian tourists who were killed during a dangerous cave dive in the Maldives last week have now been retrieved from the shark-infested waters off the paradise atoll in the Indian Ocean.

Three expert Finnish divers who recovered four of the bodies this week have handed local authorities GoPro cameras that belonged to the tragic tourists on Wednesday.

These key pieces of evidence will help investigators piece together the Italians’ last moments.

Giorgia Sommacal, 22, and Muriel Oddenino, 31, were recovered from inside the “shark cave” on Wednesday by the Finnish divers.

Both bodies of the divers were lifted onto a support boat one at a time after being carried up to the surface by recovery teams.

The expedition team may have been sucked into the complex cave where they ran out of breathing gas trying to escape, a new theory suggests.

A very strong current caused by the cave’s narrow pathway may have created a “Venturi effect” where the water speeds up to maintain a constant flow, causing a pressure drop and creating a vacuum.

Alfonso Bolognini, president of the Italian Society of Underwater and Hyperbaric Medicine, told Italian outlet Adnkronos: “Two things could have happened after the suction.

“Either everyone was sucked in, or one was sucked in and the others attempted a rescue.”
