thaibeachlovers Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Al J says it's over for the day, so 8 out. As I said, probably only enough air for 4 trips, but what does that mean for the coach? Another night in the cave? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This should be one of the top lessons to be learned from the cave rescue operation. Along with others 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you put them in isolation if they are in secondary shock? Immune systems will be fine, they've been properly fed and watered for the last week. Only problem is inactivity due to being perched on a ledge for all this time. Like a bunch of caged tigers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please let it continue until absolute completion. But I think everyone would agree that this isn't over until the entire operation is wrapped up and all the divers and support personnel are out of the system as well. That's when I'll be happiest for sure............... 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post evadgib Posted July 9, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 9, 2018 (edited) A spokesman for the British Cave Diving Council (in UK but in contact with his 7 strong team on site) explained on ITV this morning that they had suggested moving the fittest/healthiest kids first for a number of reasons inc allowing the remainder more time to prepare and to boost their confidence knowing others were out. He also made clear that the ultimate decision was down to the Thai Govt and medics on the ground. Edited July 9, 2018 by evadgib 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Australian medic has been with them for the last few days. I'm sure that his priority would have been to ensure that they receive the appropriate nourishment. We are talking about a group of fit young boys, after a day of rest, the best thing for them would to be out in the fresh air, kicking a ball about in the hospital grounds. Kids, especially Thai kids are remarkably resilient.

ttrd Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 (edited) 13 minutes ago, josephbloggs said: But are they air tanks or oxygen tanks? Can you fill your tank with pure oxygen? No! Oxygen becomes rapidly toxic at depth – prolonged exposure to pure oxygen below a few metres can kill you. It is not an appropriate scuba tank gas mixture. Technical divers use pure oxygen on carefully-calculated decompression dives, but this is beyond the scope of recreational diving and should not be attempted. Oxygen is also highly reactive and can make other substances flammable. Safety training is necessary to work with pure oxygen. http://www.elitedivingagency.com/articles/scuba-tank-gas-mixture-divers-use/ Edited July 9, 2018 by ttrd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Dumbastheycome Posted July 9, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 9, 2018 3 minutes ago, Sheryl said: It is not unlike Thai medical practice to be overly fretful/cautious. Look at their rules regarding simple blood donation, for example - full of completely unnecessary restrictions and (frankly pointless) precautions. And here, they are confronted with a completely new situation, quite likely with the Command Post making starkly clear that under no circumstances is anything to be allowed to go wrong now. I agree it is unnecessary but I doubt anything sinister or ulterior behind it. Very true. Unlike the public expectations of them immediately being sent happily off with parents and extended family . Given the intensity of international coverage it would be ridiculous to simply wave them goodbye into the grasp of "media" just for starters. Perhaps aside from some cautionary quarantine/ medical assessment there may be some psychological assessment/preparations. Post traumatic shock is a reality especially when considering not only the initial entrapment but the method of escape. Maybe not so unnecessary but agreed is not sinister or ulterior. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was young special ops used it in "closed cycle" apparatus to blow up ships or installations behind ennemi lines. Obvious benefit of this type of gear is the absence of bubbles.. I guess that our days the young ones use some more modern gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
