A MISSION to recover the bodies of four Italians who went missing while diving in the Maldives is “technically challenging, emotionally intense, and complex.”
About 60 metres deep in the waters of Alimathaa Island are the remains of the divers – trapped in a dark cave and in peril of being ravaged by sharks.

Jamie Pringle, reader in forensic geoscience who previously spoke about the Bayesian yacht disaster, is “putting a lot of faith” in the expert deep-sea divers from Finland – but he told The Sun that the op is “dangerous and complex.”
“They have to do things carefully and methodically,” he said. “The depth of water is a really big issue.
“Certainly in a marine environment it’s a lot more difficult because you’ve got all issues with, currents and oxygen, where there’s not as much oxygen in the water… they’re talking 60 metres.”
The search was suspended over the weekend after a local military diver also died after trying to reach the bodies.

Sergeant Major Mohamed Mahudhee, a member of the Maldives National Defence Force (MNDF), died of underwater decompression sickness after being transferred to a hospital on Saturday.
The Finnish team is made up of Sami Paakkarinen, Jenni Westerlund, and Patrik Grönqvist who arrived on Sunday in the paradise archipelago to help.
The elite trio can dive to depths of nearly 500ft, giving them much more flexibility to search the difficult cave complex.
Early this morning, they started the high-risk dive, gathering as much information to plan the actual recovery.
