But he said the submarine could not be used.

"The equipment that they brought us is not practical for our mission," says Narongsak Osotanakorn. "

" Although the equipment is technologically sophisticated, it does not correspond to our mission to enter the cavern. "

The Thai Navy announced that the 12 boys and their coach had been rescued.

Richard Stenton – one of the two British experts called to assist in the rescue – who said that it was necessary to make the capsule as fast as possible.

Mask initially said that he could help the boys and their coach on July 4th, in response to Twitter's suggestion he should participate in speleology efforts.

Two days later, Mask confirmed that in Thailand sent engineers, drilling experts, Speys Ix and Boring.
