A haunting four-word message scrawled in chalk helped kickstart the recovery mission for the divers who died during an ill-fated exploration trip in the Maldives. Three brave Finnish divers were in a race against time to locate the missing tourists trapped inside a dark cave almost 200ft below the surface using complex technology and specialist gear.

Sami Paakkarinen, Jenni Westerlund and Patrik Grönqvist have been hailed for their work locating the bodies, a week after the Italian tourists first went missing during an extremely dangerous dive.
After first locating the four bodies trapped inside a crevice in the complex Dhekunu Kandu cave the divers returned to the surface with a single message to relay: “We found all four.”
Six people died due to the doomed underwater trip in total including a member of the Maldives rescue team helping find the bodies.
Boat captain and seasoned diving instructor Gianluca Benedetti was the first body found last week by local rescue teams.

But after days of searching the area by local rescue crews, four of the lost divers remained missing.
Emergency arrangements were made over the weekend to draft in the three Finnish divers due to their vast experience in daring cave rescue and recovery missions.
On Monday, they began the daring hunt after 24 hours of intense studying.
This involved hours of involved technical briefings, detailed studies of cave maps, decompression planning and safety talks.
