The bodies of three Italian divers have been recovered from a 45m-deep undersea cave at Palinuro, near Salerno on Italy’s south-west coast.
Hampered by low visibility in the silty cave, a Fire Brigade dive-rescue team was eventually able to bring out the bodies of pengajar Mauro Cammardella, the owner of the local Mauro Sub dive-centre; Mauro Tancredi, a Mauro Sub ahli selam; and Silvio Anzola, a diver visiting from Milan.
The three were reportedly the most experienced of a group of 12 out on a morning latihan dive last week, but they failed to re-emerge after passing through the deep wall entrance of the Cave of the Ladder. It was not clear whether the cave-penetration had been planned and whether the divers were equipped for such a dive.
Tubuh Anzola membutuhkan waktu lebih lama untuk pulih dibandingkan yang lain karena terjebak di lorong sempit di gua yang berlumpur, menurut laporan.
Tragedi serupa terjadi empat tahun lalu ketika empat penyelam, termasuk pemimpin penyelam mereka yang lahir di Inggris, tewas setelah tersesat dalam kondisi berlumpur di dekat gua laut Blood Grotto.
