These are the legendary pioneers who helped build the MNDF Diving Unit. The training programs and all the effort put into making MNDF divers what they once were came because of these people. After these pioneers stopped leading training programs, MNDF failed to continue progressing. They stuck to what they already knew and learned. They never acquired the necessary equipment for technical diving and still do not have a certified vessel capable of carrying out missions of this nature. Among these gentlemen, @ShafrazNaeem has been directly calling out the heads of MNDF. He gave his expert opinion against initiating the mission without proper gear. He was one of the first to clearly explain the cave conditions and the difficulties that could arise. One wrong move inside could have been disastrous. Now that experts are bringing out more information regarding the cave incident, the so-called “professionals,” especially government officials, have continuously attacked and attempted to tarnish Shafraz’s image. As the DAN team continues the mission, more reasons emerge showing why MNDF may not have been adequately prepared to conduct that dive. Shafraz has also actively criticized the reckless actions surrounding the dive operation. He has spoken using facts that many internationally recognized divers agree with, and he has blamed the government for pushing the mission forward a mission in which his close friend lost his life. According to Shafraz, Mahudhy was among the very best. Even after Shafraz’s tenure at MNDF ended, Mahudhy and he remained close friends and spoke often about diving. People need to stop weaponizing this incident and attacking Shafraz. What we should be doing is holding the government accountable and asking: • Why and how did Mahudhy die? • What was the exact cause? • Was any proper investigation conducted before the quick funeral? • Why was there such urgency? • According to the Maldives government spokesperson @mundhu_maldives , the dive was conducted in pairs, so why did Mahudhy’s dive buddy surface without him? • Why was MNDF pressured to conduct a dive beyond 50m when their operational limits reportedly allowed 50m or less? • Why did @MNDF_Official suddenly lower their diving limits to 30m on normal air when operations beyond 50m had reportedly been carried out before this mission? • Why wasn’t a decompression chamber present on the vessel used for the mission? • When international experts arrived, MNDF assigned ROVs and survey teams why were those not contacted or deployed during MNDF’s original mission? There are still many unanswered questions. The DAN team has reportedly provided GoPro footage and other investigative material to the Maldives Police Service. Ask yourself: will the government ever carry out a transparent investigation into this matter? All of this happened within an institution funded by our tax money. Is this something the public should take lightly? Do you want your money being used to knowingly put MNDF officers in harm’s way? Mahudhy deserves answers. His family deserves answers. The public deserves accountability. @MMuizzu @mvpeoplesmajlis @DANGlobalSafety @DAN_Europe @AJEnglish Team left to right: Mohamed Irfan (Irey) Hamdhan Zaki (Handhu) “Commander” Ahmee Naeem (Brad Naeem) Shafraz (Shaff) Hussain Rasheed (Sembe) Yoosuf Nishar (Oothu) “not on the image”
