Local diver fatality - Maldives

[DandyDon]

If my body is ever spotted at 100 meters, leave it. It was probably my fault anyway. I can understand that families want bodies recovered even while risking others, but I wouldn't want anyone risking injury and death, even if they think I might still be alive - and certainly not for just a recovery.

HaveeruOnline - Missing diver found dead in ocean

The man who went missing whilst diving off the south-west coast of Villimale on Tuesday has been found dead in the sea.
Maldives National Defense Force (MNDF) said Friday night that Mohamed Jameel, 41, of Maafushi in Kaafu Atoll was found 100 meters (328 feet) deep in the ocean by a member of the coastguard on Friday afternoon.

According to the statement, retrieving the deceased body from such depths proved to be an intricate task. Therefore, MNDF is seeking the advice of more expert divers in order to safely retrieve the body.

The coastguard has urged all citizens to be cautious whilst diving and to take all possible precautionary measures whilst at sea as dive accidents have been increasing as of lately.

Just last night, a captain of a safari boat docked near Hulhumale was also found dead in the sea.
