A military rescue diver has died while searching for the bodies of four dead Italian divers.
The diver died as a result of suffering from decompression sickness, said Mohammed Hussain Shareef, a spokesman for the Maldives Presidential Office, on Saturday.
– This shows how difficult the mission is, he says.
The five Italian citizens are believed to have died while exploring some underwater caves at a depth of 50 meters on Thursday, but exactly what happened has not been determined.
One of them was found lifeless on Thursday evening, the others are still missing.
