I am extremely interested in the communication methods used with the kids thru the tightest and tightest passages. I dont know if the masks will allow for any communication method and they can't see hand signal under the water. I would really hope there would be some communication but i just don't know
I haven’t seen any info on distances, but if they’re manageable, they could anchor a guide rope on the entrance and exit of each dive so that the kids and pull themselves along the rope. That way the need for communication is minimal.
ETA: I just read some more about the dives. This just isn’t an option at some parts. The currents combined with the limited visibility sounds like a nightmare.

I wonder about that same thing.
Seems like you have experience diving. Should they have two divers accompany each boy- one leading going in feet first, and one behind who holds a shared tank with the child?
I have no idea. This one of the scariest news events I’ve ever watched unfold.

As the large media contingent began packing up equipment, ambulances arrived at the mouth of the limestone cave. "From the situation assessment, we need to use the area to help victims," police said. There has been a recent flurry of activity at the site. As well as ambulances that have gathered at the site, American divers have arrived and the nearby relatives' room is empty. "Officials also announced that during the operation no one is allowed to take photos and if any unsuitable photos come out the person will be held responsible," The Guardian reports.

Thai authorities have ordered an evacuation of the site around the cave entrance in which 12 young footballers and their coach are stranded to allow for a "rescue operation". "Assessing the situation now, it is necessary to evacuate the area for the rescue operation," The Guardian reports Mae Sai police commander Komsan Sa-ardluan saying over a loudspeaker at the site. "Those unrelated to the rescue operation, please evacuate the area immediately." There has been speculation mounting for some hours that the rescue operation is imminent, if not already under way.

Thank you for that link. The live feed has also stopped, at least for now.

I agree with this.

Makes me think they aren't about to turn this into a social media spectacle so people can focus on the task at hand and nothing else.

If it's the same dive rescue operation that's been mentioned, then I think it's a bad move.
Posted on 7/7/18 at 9:22 pm to TheIrishFro
That’s heart breaking. You’re basically going in to lead some if not all of those kids and their coach to their deaths, never mind that rescue personnel could die too. But after 2 weeks you have to do something I suppose. Hard situation

It’s seems to be best bad move to choose from. There doesn’t seem to be any good moves and it’s better to do it now with the water levels as low as they will go.

I did think of one thing that is a positive.
The current in the cavern will help propel the children and divers outwards.
Some of the earlier maps that showed both distances and times to scuba through them showed it took the divers an hour longer going in than coming out. To me that says a strong current will help them going out.

Maybe it's some new plan they have.
But if they're taking kids that can't swim and putting them in scuba gear and making them scuba dive then it's a bad idea.

No, absolutely would not want to be heading out feet first. They will be traveling "with" the flow, being pushed out of the cave, which has it's own challenges, although less physically exhausting than fighting against the flow.
The divers all need to be facing out, one hand on the line. The lead diver will have one hand ahead feeling their way (and to keep from bonking their head on cave.) The only communication in zero viz situations is by touch, or if they have comms in full face masks. Remember there's a language barrier here too...I bet these kids don't all speak English and the cave divers surely don't speak Thai.
Hoping for the best...

I agree, but from all reports there aren’t any other workable plans to get them out. Once the rain starts back up there is zero hope of getting them any time soon or at all.
Posted on 7/7/18 at 9:32 pm to Dizz
This is my impression: you either go on a pseudo suicide mission to get as many out now as you can or you continue to wait it out and they die in the coming days and weeks as the waters rise. It will be a bonafide modern miracle if everyone emerges from this scenario alive

That makes sense. I’m hoping for the best too.
My heart aches for those parents anxiously waiting at the cave entrance. It must be difficult to be truly positive considering all the facts.

The Thai Seals do speak Thai and at least three of the boys speak English from when they responded to the Brit divers reaching them for the first time.

Thanks -- but pardon my ignorance. How do you read a magazine under water?? And eat under water?? How the heck??
Posted on 7/7/18 at 9:38 pm to real turf fan
Right, I said the cave divers don't speak Thai. The Thai Seals are not cave divers.
