Such acts speaks volume that humanity is still alive

Honest, I teared up reading it

CNA released the live interview of the boys after being discharged from the hospital and before going home.

The coach explained how the sequence of the boys were selected to leave
The boys whose house were furthest go first
So that when they cycle home they can inform the families of the other boys that they were safe, will return soon

Watched the live telecast last evening on CNA the first media conference after the boys were discharged and before they went home.

Out of the 4 Thai SEALs one of them is a medical doctor. Together with an Australian medical doctor. Both doctors were trained in diving with the Australian doctor specialised in cave diving, & the Thai doctor Navy trained (on TV can see his uniform got many badges including airborne wings)

Next dry season I guess many tour operators will be selling trips there.

I guess, after this big rescue, the awareness of cave rescue diving would gain a lot of traction. Perhaps, there may be more leisure divers who may enquire about cave diving specialty (not cave rescue).

I recall checking 1 dive destination with cave diving. 1 of the recommended requirement is cave diving specialty. I didn't go... no guts. There are usually muddy sentiments at the bottom that will be stirred up easily, which will cause water to turn murky.
