Sadly, I think you are correct

I work with an experienced diver and he says cave diving is deadly for experts, much less kids getting a crash course. If they can't find another way to get them out I hope they can wait it out in the cave until the water recedes in a few months.

A rescue mission has begun as of 11:50 PM ET -- SteveInBaltimore 07/08/2018 12:00AM

First 2 boys have been rescued. Great News! ** -- TabbHokie 07/08/2018 07:57AM

That sounds awful. Hope the little guys have a chance to grow up... -- HokieDiver 07/07/2018 8:50PM

If i was down there i would've had a claustrophobic meltdown by now. ** -- squarerootofone 07/07/2018 8:07PM

Could be there for 4 months -- HokieDan95 07/07/2018 7:53PM

Monsoon season starting soon will fill the cave -- capitals1 07/07/2018 8:04PM

Sorry to say it, but that is the FIRST thing I thought when I heard this!> -- HOKIERIT 07/07/2018 8:02PM

Spelunking used to appeal to me -- HokieDan95 07/07/2018 8:17PM

My thoughts were very similar. -- Betabeachbum 07/07/2018 8:13PM

Don’t think it was planned more an impromptu adventure turned tragedy. ** -- Hoakie82 07/07/2018 7:59PM

As young as those kids were, SOMEBODY should have been the voice of reason> -- HOKIERIT 07/07/2018 8:04PM

Just one 25 yd old coach. He’s already written an apology letter. You -- Hoakie82 07/07/2018 8:10PM

Uh...yeah?? SERIOUS lapse in judgement. Hope it doesn't cost lives!! ** -- HOKIERIT 07/08/2018 07:39AM

Already has cost one Thai diver his life. ** -- Hoakie82 07/08/2018 08:40AM

Yep ** -- HOKIERIT 07/08/2018 10:05AM

When the story first broke it sounded bad but -- HokieGator 07/07/2018 7:39PM

If divers ave already made it to the kids there should be a guideline. -- Naelbis 07/07/2018 7:38PM

I don’t think the entire 3 miles is underwater. It’s just a few spots. I -- Hoakie82 07/07/2018 7:55PM

Then they are as good as dead. -- Naelbis 07/07/2018 8:08PM

Sadly, I think you are correct -- Manbearpig 07/07/2018 11:23PM

We’ll see but I’m optimistic there’s hope. ** -- Hoakie82 07/07/2018 8:28PM

Think there are LONG stretches that ARE underweater, from what i can gather ** -- HOKIERIT 07/07/2018 8:06PM

Sane here. (edit) obviousky i meant "same". I'm not sane.** -- 48zip 07/07/2018 8:11PM

That's like dragging a lure through a wreck. No way it doesn't hang up. ** -- Coach McGuirk 07/07/2018 7:58PM

Agreed. Though maybe a line that is slowly be pulled so the kids can hang -- Hoakie82 07/07/2018 8:02PM

This is the part that no one understands if they haven't been in caves. -- Coach McGuirk 07/07/2018 7:53PM

I've done cave rescue (not a diver) and brought out unconscious victims. -- Naelbis 07/07/2018 8:18PM

Can Elon Musk pull this off? (link) -- 48zip 07/07/2018 7:33PM

Like his other endeavors, sound great...execution more difficult ** -- HokieDiver 07/07/2018 8:48PM

Hey, he's trying something! ** -- 48zip 07/07/2018 8:54PM

If Musk could pull that off. His hero status would skyrocket. ** -- Hoakie82 07/07/2018 8:22PM

I saw on the news they were considering moving the kids in the next few -- Betabeachbum 07/07/2018 7:26PM
