Accident in the Maldives: Rescue diver dies

146

A bad diving accident happened in the Maldives. 5 people from Italy died there. Helpers found only 1 body so far. The other 4 people are in a deep cave. The cave is under water.

A soldier wanted to help with the search. He is a rescue diver. His name was Mohamed Mahadi. He got very sick while diving. He went to a hospital. He died there.

Experts think: He came up too fast. This is the Dekompressions-Krankheit. This is very dangerous for divers. The search for the other people is hard.

The Italians were researchers and tourists. They dived 50 meters deep. That is not allowed. In the Maldives, you may dive 30 meters deep. Authorities check why the group dived so deep.

The ship is called 'Duke of York'. The ship must stop now. The police took the permit away. Experts from Italy help with the search now.
