Thai Cave Rescue : 4 boys now above ground
How are they bringing them out?
Getting to and from where the boys are is an exhausting 11-hour round trip even for the experienced divers.
The process includes a mixture of walking, wading, climbing and diving - all in complete darkness - along guide ropes already in place.
Wearing full-face masks, which are easier for novice divers than traditional respirators, each boy is being accompanied by two divers, who will also carry their air supply.
After an unseasonal dry spell, and furious efforts to pump out deep floodwater from the 2.5-mile narrow passageway separating the boys from the exit, the water was now at its “lowest” levels to date and most of the path was walkable.
As per reports, 6 boys are currently outside the cave.
