Sad story. Kudos to the rescue team as it must be a tough and dangerous job.

never go into an underwater cave ❌
I blame these dastardly Italians for the death of the poor brave rescue worker.

It was not worth losing another person to this incident (the rescue diver). They should just let the divers rest in a watery grave rather than risk further lives. This isn’t the only incident where rescue divers have died.

This is odd, the divers had regular gear for a 200+ ft dive. Even if they used a mix their time below had to be short and their decompression stops had to be planned to plan their air consumption.
They had to have multiple tanks each and they had to know narcosis was a risk. Their dive computers should be helpful in piecing together the events.

Damn so they were only permitted to dive 30 metres but ended up twice as deep and in a cave that they hadn’t mentioned prior.
Very eager to know what happened. Surely the instructor should have been aware they were way out of there depth.
I mean it’s not a mistake to travel that deep and then end up in a cave. It’s not like you climb a mountain and seek a cave for shelter…So could we assume things were fine at that point?
I can’t imagine the horror. It’s not like they were all contained in a vessel and trapped. They all got there on their own and none of them could get back again. Harrowing.

This reminds me of a similar case “Dave not coming back”. Also a rescue diver that had an incident on a diving mission.

I suppose they could have narced out and made even stupider decisions after that.

We were in Mexico a few years ago and met two couples. One couple were certified divers and the other had no experience. The 4 were going diving. The newbies felt confident because their friends had explained everything to them. It’s mind boggling how people can justify idiotic decisions.

Is this rich people shit, or is everyone diving caves in the Maldives lately?
