Male: The bodies of two Italian divers killed in a scuba diving accident in the Maldives have been recovered, a Maldives government spokesperson said on Tuesday, as efforts continue to retrieve the remains of two others.The divers were part of a group of five who entered a deepwater cave last week. The remains of one among them - their instructor - was recovered on Friday.The bodies were brought up to 30 metres by a specialist team of Finnish divers - who joined the efforts this week - after which Maldivian divers and the police assisted in bringing them to the surface, spokesperson Mohamed Hussain Shareef told Reuters."Identities have not been confirmed yet, but we know that it's a male and female body that has been recovered," he said.The group that entered the cave was led by Monica Montefalcone, 51, a University of Genoa professor and marine ecologist who was a regular diver in Maldivian waters in the Indian Ocean, and also included her daughter.Maldivian authorities are probing multiple possible factors behind the accident - the deadliest single incident in the country's diving history - including whether the divers descended far deeper than expected.The two remaining bodies will be recovered on Wednesday, according to the government's plan.
