Thai boys follow a diving training … Escape routes everywhere

Twelve boys and a coach miraculously discovered in ten days in a cave in Chiang Rai, in northern Thailand, began to practice diving.

Rescue authorities fear that boys may cross the underground waterways, but even if heavy rains spill out, the water level in the cave may increase and the formation of water may increase. evacuation by diving is the most dangerous. .

According to the local Thai media, The Nation, 13 children, including boys and coaches, started training from the day before wearing a diving mask and breathing.

Authorities waited until the end of the first rainy season, but also considered how the boys could get out of the cave, but the rain continued until October, when water in the cave suddenly increased. This was announced.

But the water courses in the cave, where boys aged 11 to 17 can not swim, are not easy. Fortunately, rescuers worked to drain the water to lower the water level in the cave.

The diving escape is accompanied by two rescuers per survivor, who serves as a guide. However, where the path is narrow, the boys themselves must swim and dive without a rescue team.

Thirteen people were found by a rescue team in the mountainous area "Pattaya Palm Beach", about five kilometers from the entrance to the cave, the last two days, ten days after the disappearance. Exactly, it is located on a hill 400 meters away from Pattaya Palm Beach.

The boys' journey begins on this hill. The distance to the entrance of the cave is 5 km, but the difficult route is 2.5 km from the starting point. This is because it includes waterways for the intermediate dive. First, the boys dive into the current hill and move 400m.
Get out of the water and walk 400m to get a U-shaped course. This course is a U-shaped water course, diving to a depth of 5m then moving 15m to get out .

If you come out of this U-shaped water course, you can see that the challenging course is over. A short walk from here leads to an intersection of tee (T), and when you walk on the road for about 800 meters, the emergency authorities reach the "third chamber", an empty space with a command post of research. From there, walk about 2km and you will arrive at the entrance to the cave.
