Chilling first images revealed inside the underground cave that claimed the lives of 5 people in the Maldives
The first pictures of the underwater cave where five Italian divers died have been made public as four of their bodies were repatriated to Milan Saturday for Italian prosecutors to advance their manslaughter investigation.
The photos were taken by one of the elite Finnish divers called in to recover the remaining victims, after the Maldives National Defense Forces’ search killed one of their own rescuers.

The five Italians vanished during a deep-water dive inside a cave 164 feet underwater in Vaavu Atoll, in what officials called the worst diving accident in the island nation’s history.
