The recovery of a superyacht that sank a year ago off the Sicilian coast was temporarily halted Saturday following the death of a specialist diver while working underwater, a spokesman for the company overseeing the operation said.

“We are saddened to confirm the tragic death of a specialist diver while doing underwater work earlier today (Friday),” said David Wilson, spokesman for the British-based TMC Marine, in an emailed statement.
