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 instruktors Mauro Cammardella, the owner of the local Mauro Sub dive-centre; Mauro Tancredi, a Mauro Sub divmaster; and Silvio Anzola, a diver visiting from Milan.
The three were reportedly the most experienced of a group of 12 out on a morning treniņš 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.
Saskaņā ar ziņojumiem Anzolas ķermeņa atgūšana prasīja ilgāku laiku nekā pārējiem, jo tas tika ieķerts šaurā ejā aizsērējušajā alā.
Līdzīga traģēdija notika pirms četriem gadiem, kad četri ūdenslīdēji, tostarp viņu Lielbritānijā dzimušais niršanas vadītājs, gāja bojā pēc apmaldīšanās dubļainajos apstākļos tuvējā Blood Grotto jūras alā.
