In the turquoise waters of the Maldives, where the ocean floor gives way to labyrinthine caves, the line between adventure and tragedy collapsed once more. Divers who ventured into underwater cave systems failed to return, and the rescue operation mounted to find them claimed the life of a trained recovery worker — prompting authorities to suspend the search entirely. The incident asks an old and unanswered question: how much risk can a society extend into the deep in the name of wonder, and who bears the cost when that wonder turns fatal.
