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 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 …Show this thread -

The method worked with the first kids. Hope the rest of them feel safe and calm.

Exactly. The kind of mental fortitude required to traverse this is exceptional, and the kids seem to be doing it so well! Hoping for the rest.
