For everyone shitting on the retrieval: retrieving the bodies is how we identify the cause of death, helping prevent this happening to other people.

How about not diving into caves? That seems like an even better way to prevent this from happening again.

In this case we know the exact cause of death, diving into the fucking cave. Maybe we send an ROV rather than risking 3 lives. If they didn't have the funding to send one then maybe don't use the royal yacht to risk your and 2 other lives, including a 3rd on the rescue.

What a selfish way to die.

Well, we do NOT know the exact cause of death. Yeah it has something to do with the cave, but it's information that can potentially save lives in the future

Don't get me wrong, especially now that someone has died trying to recover the bodies, there is a very good point to be made to leave the bodies there, like that guy who got stuck upside down hundreds of meters below the surface, and died. They left his body there, tossed concrete over it to ensure nobody goes that particular path ever again
