Diving Disaster: Maldives authorities are racing to recover four more bodies after five Italian divers died in a deep cave dive in Vaavu Atoll, with one body already found and a high-risk operation paused by bad weather and expected to resume Saturday; officials say the cave is so deep that even top divers “do not try,” while investigations now focus on how the group went beyond permitted depths and what went wrong underwater. Search & Rescue: The MNDF says the cave system is complex and recovery dives are being planned carefully as strong winds and currents complicate operations. Sports Integrity: A fresh report in India alleges misuse of the National Sports Development Fund, with money meant for athletes reportedly diverted to upgrade facilities for bureaucrats. Tourism Trend: Dark-sky tourism is booming globally, with Maldives resorts among those marketing stargazing experiences as night-sky visibility becomes rarer. Regional Connectivity: In Sri Lanka, India’s IOS Sagar docked in Colombo with a 16-nation crew under “Bridges of Friendship,” underscoring shared Indian Ocean security concerns.
