Mark Wahlberg is rubbing his hands like Birdman

I couldn’t imagine having to be in an already squeezed environment and then putting on a full diving mask, the claustrophobic nature would be prevalent I’d probably hyperventilate.

Send in Bruce Willis and his Baws from Armageddon

They drill down and pump water from above. Use their expertise to prevent cave in

Quick question..
I get the idea that these kids went in the cave when it wasn’t flooded and got pushed back deeper and deeper and all that jazz but...
Why the frick did they all go through a crawl space that is too small for a diver to fit with his gear on?

They traversed the cave before the rains set in. It was already a tight squeeze to get through. The rain made it impassable to get back

There's a video at this site taken from a helmet cam as someone went into the cave.
I have what I thought was slight claustrophobia; I couldn't watch much of it.
What it shows is that they move through water up to their necks as they go into the cave and THEN submerge. I could maybe submerge if I were wading in , but water up to my neck is the good part?
It's a perspective I didn't get from reading and thought you might find it eye opening.

That does add perspective. Also, I'd imagine that some of the kids might not be tall enough so they have even further to be submerged.

Hell, I hold my breath when I see people undewater on TV. I can't watch any of this.

Why not take these kids out 1 or 2 at a time with a group of 4 or 5 divers? That way if a kid panics or something else occurs he’ll be surrounded by experienced divers. If you try to take the whole group out at once, you just compound any problems along the way because you have less divers per child

That's what's been talked about since early on.
Just the suggested number of air cannisters it will take to move three humans through the cave to the part where the water has been pumped out will limit the number going through at one time.

Hulk Hogan had a TV show about 30 years ago called “Thunder in Paradise”. In one episode they had to dive out of a cave. He took some sort of chute and created a giant air bubble that they carried with them so the kids could surface inside the chute and breathe.
I think it’s obvious we need to send in the Hulk..

Thats actually similar to Elon Musk's plan.

One or more of the passageways out of the cave are so small a single diver cannot pass through with air tanks on, they push the tank through ahead of them, so "surrounding" with divers is impossible.

Twitter chatter says it’s been raining hard and the army has put canvas up around the entrance. Lots of indication they are planning to get them out soon.

Interesting that Trump hasn’t got the US involved somehow to save these kids.
He’s not going to let Elon Musk upstage him.

I like the escape pod idea. Sedate the kids, put them into the pod, and have two divers (one in front one in back) carry them along. Air tank in either the front or back attached to keep pumping air into it.

I wonder if there are snakes in the cave?
