The diagram in the OP gives some indication of the enormous dangers involved in the operation. Climbing equipment is needed and some areas are too narrow for divers to wear their tanks, so presumably they’ll remove them and push them through. Bad enough going, but imagine the return journey with young inexperienced boys in tow. These are some incredibly brave people. All hopes are with them.
As I mentioned in another thread, Naomi, cave-diving in these extreme conditions usually requires side-mounted tanks which can quickly be unattached from the body and pushed ahead of the diver. I would imagine that the boys are using an octopus regulator attached to the rescuer's tank thus freeing up the boys from wearing a tank.

That's the only way it could be done, I think. Apart from the obvious difficulty in taking extra tanks, the boys have no experience of diving. It'll be a quick lesson on how to use a regulator.

// The US has a team there helping. As do we. He's claiming credit for the team not for himself. As are we. //
there is a back-story to this
the Thais are reluctant to accept outside help ( as in none after the 2005 tsunami) - has anyone noticed the 2nd british diver was given his marching orders a few days ago - and then after the death - he's baaaack !
and the 90 divers have to have a rest
oh god hasnt anyone learnt that there are things called - a shift system ?

Right now I'm really puzzled. I posted at 13.55 that according to Sky News 6 boys had been rescued safely. I then watched several people from the scene, including a medical officer, confirm it. Then I switched the TV off. Now I see Sky is telling us only 4 boys were rescued safely. Anyone know how this change of numbers has come about?
I've also heard that 6 boys are out. Other bits I've gleaned are that they brought out the weakest first whilst the water levels were the lowest they could achieve and that, as it is an 11 hour trip for the divers, it would be 24 hours before they could go in for the others. If anyone's already posted this, sorry.
Here's a picture of the four rescued boys.
