The truth behind Mahdhee's fatal dive cannot be buried so easily!

Five Italian divers died in a cave in Vaavu Atoll's Devana Kandu. MNDF Sergeant Mohamed Mahdhee, 44, an experienced Coast Guard diver, dove to locate them and died. He was buried without a forensic autopsy. The government and MNDF remain silent, with officials refusing to answer questions. Chief of Defence Force Ibrahim Hilmy and Coast Guard Commandant Mohamed Saleem gave a TV interview but never mentioned Mahdhee's name. Contradictions in the official account suggest the buddy system protocol was broken.
