A man who dived under the ocean to untangle a rope in a safari near G. Dh, Gaddhoo has died.

“Sun” has been informed that the man who died is a Maldivian.

Police media official said that three people had dived under with oxygen tanks to untangle the rope and that two people were taken to Gaddhoo hospital in critical condition.

Police have confirmed that one of the men has died.

Gaddhoo Council informed “Sun” that the man who died was Ahmed Rasheed, 24, from Gaddhoo. And the other man receiving treatment in the hospital is Ahmed Ibrahim, 35, from the same island.

Ahmed Ibrahim is also in critical condition. And arrangements are being made to transport him to Shangri-La.

The incident took place as three men attempted to lift the anchor of a safari near G. Dh. Gaddhoo – which belongs to Ref Cool Travel and Tours, after there was some problem with the anchor.

“The issue with the anchor arose while they tried to take off in the morning. So some youngsters from Gaddhoo were called up to take up the anchor for money. These youngsters went to the safari. Two young men from Gaddhoo went to take up the anchor. These are the two young men that faced the problem,” said Gaddhoo Island Council President.

The men had run out of oxygen while under water.

Ahmed Rasheed had been dead when taken to hospital.
