Last update: 9 hours agoMaldives Dive Tragedy: Search and body-recovery efforts for five Italian divers in Vaavu Atoll have been suspended again after rough seas, with Italy’s foreign minister saying operations will resume as weather allows. One body was recovered from a cave around 60m deep, while four others are still missing after the group failed to resurface during a cave dive. Cause Questions: Experts point to possible tank gas problems and panic, including warnings about oxygen toxicity, while officials also note the dive went below the permitted 30m limit—triggering a separate investigation. Local Priority: Maldives President Muizzu says recovery remains the top priority as Italian diplomats and coastguard teams stay on site. Regional Watch: In calmer news, India’s IOS Sagar (with a 16-nation crew) is set to call at Colombo, continuing “Bridges of Friendship” maritime cooperation. Sports Funding Probe (Context): Separately, an Indian report alleges NSDF athlete funds were diverted to elite bureaucrat housing sports facilities—raising fresh questions about how sport money is used.
