A recent SCUBA accident in the Maldives saw 5 divers perish & this article (auto-translated from Italian) says the cave they entered was at 50 meters depth. Elsewhere I read they didn't have cave diving training. They dove beyond typical recreational depth & entered a cave without training...very unwise. Cave divers use exotic air mixes, lines & other gear to prevent getting lost/disoriented. Sounds like a 100% preventable tragedy.
