Operation resumes:

... Divers are back in the cave on day 3, attempting to rescue the final 4 boys and their soccer coach.

...Monsoon rain is now coming down hard in Mae Sai — and shows no sign of letting up. The return of the rains will put extra pressure on today’s rescue efforts, as divers battle to retrieve the remaining kids before flood waters rise

...a race against “water and time.” Experts close to the operation have expressed concerns that a rise in water levels could increase the risk for divers and extend the time required to bring the boys out from the cave.

Those divers will need to use greatest concentration today if conditions change on the way out with the boys. Now we know the boys developed hypothermia even with several wetsuits on. Can you imagine being so thin and muscles atrophied but then must swim for miles in cold dark water to save your own life? Not being experienced in swimming? Really extraordinary mental stamina the 8 boys already rescued have found in themselves.
