Five Italian divers failed to resurface from a deep cave dive in the Maldives, including marine biologist and researcher Muriel Oddenino, 31, in what officials have described as the deadliest diving accident in the archipelago's history.
The group, believed to be exploring an underwater cave system roughly 160 feet below the surface near Vaavu Atoll, vanished during the dive, sparking a multinational search and recovery effort that was later hampered by bad weather and extreme conditions.
