The whole story doesn't make sense! I have dived the "Cave" and it is just a cavern in what they call the Park. No way you can get lost in it, it goes through the little island (Rock) and is maybe 40ft long at most! The story talks of the coast and the search for miles? Bandaras Bay is dirty with max viz at 30ft and does have strong currents! I don't think it is a "Cave" accident at all!
