ilkleyram Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Don't know about you lot but I just felt very moved by the pictures of the young Thailand football team that have been found in the cave after 10 days. And that the first voices they heard were British somehow added to it. Caving is one of those things that you wouldn't get me doing in a million years so well done them.

Boycie Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 I heard the story on the radio last week, and then nothing since. I assume they’re all ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, all 13 of them alive & well (as you can be after being stuck doen a hole for 10 days). I got a bit emotional reading about it last night. They're saying this morning that they'll have to learn how to dive, to be able to get out...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not worth the paper its written on. You have only done half the course, unless you missed out the live water part where you, under PADI instruction, put into practice what you learnt in the pool. Then you have a basic PADI open water certificate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaaLocks Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Apparently, after having been stuck for ten days in a dark cave with no light or food they were asked if they needed anything. "Can you send a Forest shirt?" one lad asked "Why?" the diving crew inquired "What else am I supposed to wipe my arse on?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some very brave men risking their their lives here, unusually for the bbc good reporting article on some of the Brits involved. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-44690688 To be honest, that Thai government sources all cite their Navy Seals are leading a team of international rescuers doesn’t really matter, for of the many nationalities involved, any who have contributed and are risking their lives, are all equal heroes in every sense of the word. Fingers crossed the next 2 days see all remaining boys, teachers and rescuers safely out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a coach not aeteacher I think. He did put them in danger but also then kept safe when the cave started flooding. Most developing and third world countries have a very different attitude towards danger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
