A lot of the frustration stems from the before mentioned difference in communication by the Thai officials as opposed to how it would be handled in the US for example. But I dont think that vague statements necessarily translate into non-action. They are taking advice and have help from the best of the best and will do the best and safest that can be done in this dire situation. There is no definite safe way nor a definite answer how the boys will be brought out right now because thats how the situation is unfortunately. I trust the expert divers who say its not safe, the boys need to be stronger, the water needs to be brought down more, etc. I trust them to decide when its the right moment with the best odds to bring them out alive. I dont blame the governor for not having definite answers right now. At least the boys are fine thats good to hear. Oxygen is now coming in and they have communicated with their families which surely has improved their mood and mental strength. More pumps and other equipment have come from Elon Musk. We have to be patient.
So, iirc the last confirmation was via a British cave diver (again)...
(Honestly, I'm sorry I want actual confirmation of this. Sorry to say, like Bravo said, cray cray.
As some may recall, I have some ocean experience and at one time contemplated searchdiving myself for Dylan's remains in a cold mountain lake (remember that...uughh..).but QUICKLY assessed no way could I do those conditions...that's part of being a diver I think..if they say they can't do it, they can't do it, moo. Because you have to believe you can do it before you can do it (craycray) Which means I'mo (gah can barely post, basically, focus on the rocks, etc, I'm staring at the mountains, )
Who are currently the best free divers in the world?
Do you guys remember the movie, with the French guy, he was a free diver..."into the blue" maybe?
OH MY gosh...I just had a great idea. At least I think I do (continued)
So, I remember from my old dive days studying or whatever you want to call it the different types of divers.
I remember reading an article about some of the best divers in the world who can sustain cold, dark, conditions. It's not just cave divers. It's oil rig divers and everything associated it with that. Guys down off Texas, Louisiana maybe? I think maybe I watched a show on it? On Discovery? Idk...anyway, I realize they are not experienced cave divers necessarily but they lay the pipes down, work on the rigs deeeep underground in cold murky conditions. These are some of the most dangerous diving conditions that can be undertaken while working on the heavy equipment.
It sounds like they have multiple approaches going simulataneously. Which is wise, hopefully nothing will conflict with each ither.
This takes some serious teamwork and collaboration.
