The boyfriend of a diver who was killed during an expedition in the Maldives has declared he will keep waiting for her as he ‘still can’t understand’ her death.

Giorgia Sommacal was one of five Italian nationals who died during a cave-diving mission in Vaavu Atoll on Thursday.

Her mother, ecology expert Monica Montefalcone; marine biologist Federico Gualtieri; researcher Muriel Oddenino; and diving instructor Gianluca Benedetti, also lost their lives.

Sommacal’s boyfriend, Federico Colombo, has since told the Italian media he was eagerly anticipating her return home.
