Update on what to expect now the rescue has geared up for the final push....
Narongsak said the rescue teams, comprising dozens of Thai and international diving experts spent nine hours yesterday – two hours faster than they did a day earlier – to extract the four survivors safely from the cave. He said the rescue operation today should move faster because the same teams of rescuers who will be re-employed for the mission are more familiar with the conditions inside.
The rescue attempts today will be a repeat of what happened the past two days. The rescue divers will guide the survivors, equipped with full face masks, through passageways partly submerged in dark and murky water, to reach drier spots from where they will move toward the cave entrance where ambulances are on stand-by.
