    The divers will attempt to bring out 13 non-swimmers through a very challenging cave dive! Harrowing. The way the cave-diving community has mobilized is impressive as cave-diving is a very specific subset of diving—even expert non cave-divers have limited skills for this.https://twitter.com/ap/status/1015805862131261442 …

    The governor has told reporters “today is D-Day” with 13 foreigner and five Thai divers taking part in the rescue. He says the earliest they will come out is 9 p.m. Sunday (10 a.m. ET). (Corrects day) http://apne.ws/1wbZFTT

        Amazing. The volunteer cave-divers and Thai divers are reportedly tethering themselves to these—until very recently non-swimming children—to guide them through dangerous, narrow cave passages—putting their own lives on the line. Hope the rest goes as well.https://twitter.com/afp/status/1015932394480766976 …

        Second rescue attempt is reportedly under way. A thread explaining how different caves are compared to what most people see/experience as diving. That particular cave was so challenging that it took days for world’s best cave divers to get through first. https://twitter.com/where_is_puff/status/1016113131045736449 …

        The cross-sections show a no-mount area—a place so narrow that divers have to take off the tank. Reports are that it's about 15 inches/38cm: just lightly taller than an A4 paper. Plus, the chokepoint is an inverted-V. They have to go up and then come down at a sharp angle.pic.twitter.com/3kfAPvNVRF

        As we celebrate #ThaiCaveRescue, remember Saman Kuan—the Thai diver who gave his life—and the top cave-divers who rushed to put their lives on the line. Especially John Volanthen, Rick Stanton & Richard Harris should never pay for a dinner or drink again.https://twitter.com/marcobogaers/status/1016638192940826625 …

        I have a bad feeling about this. If they pull this off it will be one of the most remarkable achievements in recent history.

        Yeah. This is one of the toughest rescue situations in recent memory. Expert divers avoid caves. But a lot going in their favor. Must be so hard on the families. Nothing to do but wait.
