    It is amazing how silt free that cave is.

    Total of 8 out at this time.
    Hope they can get enough tanks/supplies in to get the remaining five out tomorrow and not limit it to four.

    Safe diving,

    I am not as certain as you about Mr. Musk's intentions, but your point otherwise is excellent.

    I am thinking that (hopefully) after all of the adventurers are safe, they should be issued honorary sump diver certifications.

    I wonder how they are managing two-way traffic through the tight passages, as it seems there is a good bit of effort going on to ferry things in and out.

    Usually in complex caves like this, travel and logistics will be coordinated by telephone. I'd hope they have phone lines run through the length and phones at choke points and supply points. The Brits typically use a through-ground phone system, which works well in Britain, but don't know what they have here.
