      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

      That point is going to be even more difficult for the adult than for the children.

      The only adults in there are about a dozen of world’s best cave-divers who’ve already repeatedly navigated the pinch point. In fact, they are in short supply enough that the operation pauses while they rest, same team goes back in.

          There is one more, and it was him I was thinking of. The assistant coach. But maybe at 25 he is hopefully not having much more trouble than the 16 or 17 year olds among the players.

          He’s apparently a meditator since childhood. Great advantage for cave-diving. 🤞🤞🙏🙏
