FROM the surface, the Vaavu Atoll is the ultimate paradise with its white sand beaches, crystal-clear warm waters and abundant marine life.
But 20 storeys below the sea’s surface around this Maldives tourist spot is a maze-like cave system which was the scene of an unimaginable tragedy.
Ten days ago, five experienced scuba divers lost their lives in the Thinwana Kandu cave, also known as Shark Cave.
Now the first images have emerged of the narrow underwater passage where most of them perished.
The photos were taken by the Finnish team that recovered the bodies this week.
Ever since the five Italian tourists went missing, experts have been trying to figure out what went wrong during their expedition.
Local instructor Gianluca Benedetti and marine biologist Monica Montefalcone, 51, who had 5,000 dives under her belt, knew the area well.
Tragically, Monica’s 20-year-old daughter Giorgia Sommacal, also an experienced diver, died with them.
Regulations state that no recreational trips here should be made deeper than 98ft, yet the bodies were found twice that distance down.
Italian investigators are looking into possible manslaughter charges, and it is hoped that bodycam footage will provide some answers.
