Divers trained for high-risk operations, says Coast guard chief

Coast Guard Commandant Mohamed Saleem said Maldives Coast Guard divers are trained for high-risk deep-sea operations, following criticism after MNDF Sergeant Mohamed Mahudhee died of decompression sickness during a search for four missing Italian divers near Alimatha in Vaavu Atoll. Saleem said training is underway to enable divers to operate at depths of up to 100 metres by the end of the year, and authorities confirmed the four bodies were located inside the cave system on Monday.
