The Navy brought four months of food for the operation and the Navy gives the boys a dive training to evacuate the group from the complex underground system.
Peter Wolf, the National Director of the Cave The Divers Association of Australia told the Guardian that the boys could not get out of the cave anytime they would be unable to swim.
"The length of the cave and the conditions in which they dive mean that there is probably" But the troglodyte divers that they have there are some of the most experienced in the world, especially in search and rescue operations. "
The Thai Army Chief says that boys must learn to dive, otherwise they may wait months for the waters to retreat.

Contemplating their rescuers while a white torch was shining on their faces, one of the divers begs the group to remain calm.
He reassures them. many, many people are coming … we are first. "
Sitting in their baggy football kits on a bank with their legs bent in front of them, the trapped children did not know what day it was nor how long they were missing.
" What a day is he? "asks one of the boys." What day are you coming to help me? "
" Monday, a week and Monday, "says one of them. behind the camera. "You have been here for 10 days, you are very strong, very strong."
"Seals will come tomorrow with food, a doctor and everything. Today you have a light? We will give you more lights. "

Anmar Mirza, a prominent US underground rescue expert, said many challenges remain for rescuers. He said the main decision is to know whether to try to evacuate the boys and their coach or provide them on the spot.
"Stocking them on the spot can be difficult depending on the difficulty of the dives," Mirza, coordinator of the US National Cave Rescue Commission, said in an e-mail. "Trying to take non-divers to a cave is one of the most dangerous situations possible, even if the dives are relatively easy." 19659002 "This also begs the question: if the dives are difficult, the supply will be difficult, but"

Narongsak explained early Monday that fixing rope lines and deploying oxygen tanks along their route will allow the divers to operate.
In addition to the divers, the teams worked to pump underground water. Other efforts have focused on finding mountain-side wells that could be used as a back door to blocked areas. The teams passed the side of the mountain looking for cracks that could lead to such wells. Several were found and the explorers were able to get off.
Rescue experts in caves from around the world gathered at the site. An official Australian group followed a US military team, British cave experts, Chinese rescue workers and several other volunteer groups from different countries
