ROME: An official inquiry into the recent undersea rescue operation has revealed that Italian divers were deployed without equipment best suited for the conditions, while British counterparts faced scrutiny over their approach. The operation, which aimed to retrieve a trapped submersible, has raised questions about coordination and preparedness among international rescue teams. Sources indicate that Italian divers were using standard-issue gear, not the advanced apparatus required for the deep-water environment.
Meanwhile, British teams, known for their expertise in maritime emergencies, had their methods challenged by Italian officials who suggested that alternative techniques might have yielded faster results. The incident has prompted calls for a review of joint rescue protocols.
