    For everyone shitting on the retrieval: retrieving the bodies is how we identify the cause of death, helping prevent this happening to other people.

      How about not diving into caves? That seems like an even better way to prevent this from happening again.

        In this case we know the exact cause of death, diving into the fucking cave. Maybe we send an ROV rather than risking 3 lives. If they didn’t have the funding to send one then maybe don’t use the royal yacht to risk your and 2 other lives, including a 3rd on the rescue.

        What a selfish way to die.
