The body of a British tourist – missing since Saturday – has been found off the coast of Biyaadhoo resort in South Malé atoll.
The 65 year old man who had not been seen since going to snorkel alone is presumed to have drowned. His body has been taken to Maafushi Health Centre.
A recent spate of drowning incidents in the Maldives – more often including Chinese tourists – last month prompted the Ministry of Tourism to consult industry stakeholders and relevant government authorities regarding ways to improve safety.
A questionnaire was subsequently sent to all tourist establishments to gather more information on these incidents before a forum is held later this month.
