The cave appears shallow enough that the navy divers might just be using military oxygen rebreathers. Which they would be extremely familiar with.

Legal action? Hey look he's got a inflated tyre as a wing..do they have wings? It may be Thailand but no ones hoping for a payout - seems to me experts around the world speaking out because they saw someone they saw in a magazine are the ones hoping to pick up a few more hits on their YouTube channel.
The people of Thailand are not stupid. Refer cave sign. They're deeply spiritual and I'm sure their focus is on the boys and their families not putting on a go pro so we can see actual conditions and advise us.
Have a look at Thai navy seals FB Page - they're tough and they have equipment like boats and stuff, quite impressive. They're resilient people who graciously accept help when they need it - and they're not stupid. It's awesome the people from around the world who have quietly stepped up.
The world is with you guys, my hopes are with them all.

Appears the rain has indeed come. If they pull this off it will genuinely be in the nick of time.
Fingers and toes crossed.
Edit: and gone again after an hour. Hopefully no more rain while they try to get them out.

Amazing news.
I thought they expected it to take 2-3 more hours.

It cannot be confirmed but local police have told a reporter that 2 of the boys are moving into the mouth of the cave.
If true, the team bringing them out made excellent time.

- "Two kids are out. They are currently at the field hospital near the cave," Tossathep Boonthong, chief of Chiang Rai's health department and part of the rescue team, said.
- "We are giving them a physical examination. They have not been moved to Chiang Rai hospital yet."
- The report has not been confirmed by authorities.

Amazing news!
Hopefully these young men were able to help figure out some of the logistical parts of the dive can’t wait to hear official reports about the kids getting out.
Thumbs up to everyone over there helping out!
