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 …

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 …

Replying to @zeynep
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.
