Experts pointed out that the cave is very difficult conditions, the portion of the tunnel goes steeply down and flooded completely. In addition, divers have to swim in murky stream water.
Spoke the option to leave the children in the cave until October, when the end of the rainy season. However, meteorologists predicted that with the last weekend in the region will start the heavy rains that threatened to completely flood the cave. Drilling holes in the center of the cave and the search for alternative access to the grotto with the children also brought no success.
In the end, it was decided to take the kids one at a time with the equipment for diving.
Rescuers acted with greater caution, given the deaths on 7 July in the cave of one of the Thai divers. 37-year-old Saman Gunan previously served in the Navy of the country, he joins voluntarily. He was taken to the grotto, which was full of children, oxygen cylinders, and on the way back he didn’t have enough air. His body was taken away by his colleagues.
Divers noted that when driving to the exit it helps the flow of water, which also goes in this direction. Therefore, if the path deep into the cave took 4-5 hours, the way out is about an hour. Although with children, this path will take longer, as they’ll need a rest. To do this, rescuers created in dry areas stocks of food and oxygen cylinders. In addition, to maintain the water level in the cave, there are bilge water pumps.
