Football team trapped in Thai cave complex

[FW]

Didn't catch it. Which network was it??

CTV news station.

I see in the above article from CTV that Australian divers are on scene. I wonder if they are military, or CDAA. There are a couple of really good divers in the CDAA (Cave Divers Association of Australia) that can handle low visibility, and high current.

They have CDG members there from Great Brittan. Very qualified cavers/sump divers. They are having issues with flow, etc. Read back through the messages in this thread. It might help you understand.

I did read that but every news report says the navy divers are pushing etc.. it seems to be that untrained army divers would be a liability and even a hazard and even more so if conditions are difficult.
Seems like a colossal waste of time, the CDG divers and other cave trained divers should be the only ones pushing.
Seems to me that this rescue is organized by the army using useless navy divers and various other incompetent army personnel when actual cave rescuers and sump divers should be in charge of organizing this rescue.

The problem is that it has become a "media circus". Public outcry form Thai citizens require the government do something. What is happening is the appearance that something is being done.

The British team realized it was futile to do an underwater search with the monsoons continuing. They are the ones combing the hills looking for a back entrance, as they are "dry" cavers that became sump divers.

I hadn't thought of that, and I hope there is a better outcome
