Six divers were gearing up on the deck of a boat, the Duke of York, getting ready for a diving expedition through the reefs down below.
They were in the Maldives, a small country south of India made up of over 1,000 tiny coral islands.
But as this group finished preparing, one of the divers, this young woman, stopped.
You guys go ahead without me, she said.
Now, this was not supposed to be a hard dive, and it should only take an hour, but still, something stopped her.
She watched as the group finished suiting up, slowly got in the water.
They dove below the surface, and little bubbles came up from their oxygen tanks.
And this woman figured she would see the group in an hour after they were done studying the reefs.
But an hour passed, and the group was nowhere to be seen.
Another thirty minutes went by, and then another, and the woman watched, waiting for the group's heads to surface, but they never did.
So she grabbed the boat's phone to call for help, not knowing that below her was a cave system that was much deeper and much more complicated than anyone in her group had anticipated.
And time was running out.
51-year-old Monica Monafalcone was one of the divers who had gone down that morning, and she was the reason that that group was there that day.
She was an associate professor of marine ecology at the University of Genoa, and she had been leading Maldives coral research projects for more than a decade.
There's over 130 scientific publications to her name, and somewhere around 5,000 dives logged over her career.
Diving beside her that morning was her daughter, Georgia Somakal, who was in her early 20s.
She was a biomedical engineering student who regularly came along on her mother's fieldwork.
Then there was Muriel Odanino, who was 31, a Patty dive master and research fellow, Federico Gualtieri, around 30 years old, he was a dive instructor and a recent marine biology graduate, and Gianluca Benedetti, 44, a man who had walked away from a career in finance to spend his life diving.
He'd lived in the Maldives for seven years, and he knew these waters better than anyone on the boat.
