A fight between divers at a depth of 18 meters at a dive site in the Maldives was captured on camera and sparked controversy. Xiao Du, a diving instructor from China who was on vacation, claims that three men confronted him, and one of them tried to tear the breathing regulator from his mouth – an action that could be life-threatening. The incident occurred on October 28 at the Kuda Rah Thila site in South Ari Atoll. Du managed to escape and return to the boat, but continued to verbally argue with those involved. Maldives Legend, the company on whose boat Du was a guest, suspended a diving instructor from his work and referred the case to the authorities. The Maldives Sailing Association called on the police and the Ministry of Tourism to open an investigation. The article presents only Du's version, and the circumstances of the fight's outbreak remain disputed.
