I thought it was Thai Navy Seals who performed these rescues?

 

[SuzDuJour]

Are there American divers on the team?

Quite sensibly, Thai PM says Tham Luang cave will be closed to the public for a while when all are freed and that it will be a monitored site when reopened to safeguard locals and tourists

They were instrumental, but they are not cave divers. No doubt we'll learn more as the day goes on.

 

[DakotaMayi]

He made this rescue possible.

Unconfirmed reports 11th boy out on #Thailandcaverescue .
Also Thai Navy Seals have confirmed the 9th boy. No link so MOO/OINK

OINK can be "opinion I now know" ;-D

Yes! Brilliant!

 

[Portabella]

I think it was the Brits, Thai Seals, Americans etc etc, a group effort. But if not for the Brits who initially found them, this would be a different story. So kudo's to all, but bless those two Brits that surged forward and found them on that ledge. From their the hero's are endless, every race, religion and country....hero's one and all.

I got the impression it was a combination of UK, US, Thai and Australian?

Only 5 Thai divers. The rest are international.

I hope someone was filming this , it would be so interesting to see how they managed the whole operation.

 

[rosesfromangels]

My heart is overwhelmed with gratitude, and I am amazed by how these children have transfixed the world and brought us all together in love.

These children are agents of change, the peacemakers! This is an incredible vote for humanity.

Me too. 2020 is having a special tonight--I can't wait to watch it.

The Tham Luang cave complex will be closed to the public

(Reuters: Soe Zeya Tun)

For a while, at least

Thailand's prime minister Prayuth Chan-ocha said it'll be closed until "everything is in order".

He said in the future, the entrance and exits to the cave complex will be monitored and more lights and warning signs will be installed inside.

"This cave has become world famous," he said.

[Portabella]

Wanna know what is cool, the human race saved. Eveyrone did their part, it was a perfect storm of humanity....hence a Miracle....

 

[creepcrusher]

Praise God! I’m so happy they all survived! Such a miracle! Now I must rest my eyes only to come back in a few hours for updates!

It was a combined international effort. However, there were some super-elite cave divers there, again, from a few countries. Cave diving is so super-specialised that it is a very, VERY niche activity. Read up on it a bit; you'll be gobsmacked. When I first got into it a few years back (as an armchair enthusiast, not a diver) I spent weeks, months, years following the "sport". (I am not dismissing it as a "sport", different strokes for different folks.)

Yes, well they better close that cave until they can assure safety or we’ll need copycat rescues.
