    Elon Musk shares video of 'kid-size' submarine for Thai cave rescue

    I'm sure the Thai government has been in contact with the most prominent experts on cave diving.  8 out now, 5 left.  
    There are 18 divers. Five are from thailand, and the rest international "pros".

    I do realize that.  But their are divers who specifically dive in caves.

    I hope Saman Gunan goes down as a legend and as a mythical figure,  worldwide really but at least in Thailand.

    I think these divers do. I guess you have to know your stuff, with one diver on CNN saying this "is the mount everest of cave diving" :)

    Could be a naive question but I wonder if they could have just pumped the water out of the cave in the first place?

    They have pumped out a lot of water, which has made it easier. 

    When they turned of the pumps for 12 minutes, the water rose 10cm I think.

    The weather is against them.

    Sounds like a tough, frustrating job.  I hope they think to block entrance to that cave off after this is all over.

    I hope they block the cave off as well when all have been rescued.
    Why did the coach and the boys decide to go into the cave during the rainy season, despite posted warning signs?

    What i've read: It wasn't raining when they entered. The season for not entering the cave is starting in July with the rainy season - which I guess will be pushed to earlier now. They went in, in june. It's a popular cave where the coach had been many times before.

    Seems a bit unsafe if the cave becomes a deathtrap if you're in there with it starting to rain. Or what caused it to fill up so fast, or them not being able to get out before it filled up.

    As mentioned they did. But not only was weather against them with storms predicted, so was time. I heard oxygen was running out and attempts to pump in air have failed. So with air and bad weather coming there wouldn’t be enough time to pump all the water out.
    They did some which shortened the amount of diving needed though.

    Maybe just me, but if I saw a sign that said don’t eneter July 1 or rains will trap and kill you, I probably wouldn’t go in during late June either.

    Good for you.

    Some boys did. 

    And hopefully they all get out. And get to see the FIFA World Cup final.

    This gives me so much anxiety. I hope they all get out without problems.

    Yeah, he should spend some serious time behind bars for entering the cave just before it's not recommended.

    I want to see justice!
