Having them learn to dive and swim out has got to be one of the last possible options. Hiking and crawling through a cave system is completely different from diving through it with gear. Night diving and cave diving is one of the most difficult dives even for seasoned divers, and with inexperienced kids - well that's a disaster waiting to happen. I guarantee they'd lose at least a handful if not more during the swim. Anyone who has actually dived would know the incredible risk of trying this rescue.
If drilling to the location is equally unfeasible, I'd wager that they will try to wait it out unless the waters continue to rise and the situation gets desperate.
But the more pressing issue is I don't see how these kids can handle the mental and emotional challenge of being isolated there for 4 months - unless medication is involved.

This is nonsense. Again, I know we're all just casually discussing here, but anyone who has actually dove knows this is nonsense.
