12 boys and their coach to dive out of cave

 

 

BANGKOK, 9th July 2018 (NNT) - The 12 boys and their soccer coach stranded for two weeks in a northern cave complex, are being led out of the cave on foot and by diving with world-class divers including Thai Navy SEALs. The operation started at 10 a.m. on Sunday. 

The boys and their 25 year old football coach will wear a full face mask to scuba dive their way out under supervision. Each one will be accompanied by two rescue divers and will follow guide ropes now fixed along the stream from Nern Nom Sao ledge, where the boys and their coach took refuge, to Hall 3—the rescue team’s base. 

In the tightest section where only one person can pass through at a time, the oxygen tanks of both the rescuers and the individual boys will have to be detached from their bodies and rolled through the passage. After all of them reach Hall 3, they will be able to walk to the cave’s main opening. 

This extraction method involving scuba diving is fast and needs fewer resources than other methods. However, it requires the very high expertise of the rescuers, and the boys had to be trained to dive and swim. Their morale must be high throughout the operation and they must not panic.

Interesting.. I thought they were going to take out a couple of the strongest first to see how they go.. good to hear the weakest are out..  It seemed to go a  lot quicker than expected as well.. very good news. 

If they found me in the cave they can't get me out. The smallest passage is only 38 cm x 72 cm.

The Australian doctor made the decision at the last minute. 

And in hindsight, it was the right decision. 

The OP is about how they plan to do the extractions.   It is not a news thread in the regular sense is not meant to be an update of what is currently happening.
