I don't understand how the other divers didn't notice that two bodies
were missing. I know it's not their responsibility but I'd sure speak up

out of the remaining 11 divers no one noticed.

They were Sandals divers. New divers (i.e. those who would subject
themselves to diving at such a resort) aren't always so aware of their
surroundings.
