Very sad to hear that a Navy SEAL diver passed away in the rescue operations of the boys in the cave.
Indeed diving operation is a very risky operation.
Hopefully, pumping the water out sufficiently for the boys to wade out or drilling to hoist the boys out to safety ---- while relying less on diving can become possible ---- and the rescuers will also face lesser risk from diving.

Drill vertically down where the boys are - and then use long ropes with safety belt and seat - to hoist them up one by one maybe a safer method.

Thanks goodness they are found safe.
Now the ardous task of bringing the boys and the coach out.

Wonder is it feasible to block water from entering the entrance of the cave - eg. using sands or sandbags?
And then using water pumps to continously pump the water out of the cave -- assuming it takes days or weeks to do so?
Only when the water reach a water level of say less than 0.5 metres - guide the boys and the coach out by wading through the shallow water?

Ricky Lim Not likely. As read, the cave are made of lime stones, which is porrous and water comes in from all angles.

If this is the case, a more elaborate operation maybe required - like using large underground drill to drill a large pathway into the cave - and use raft to sail through it to pick up the boys.
Safety vests will be required to issue to the boys and the coach when they sit on the raft to sail back by oars.
Training the boys to dive may carry some risks.

It is my humble suggestion to Thai Government that Government may take help from NASA. NASA can build vertical capsules with all life saving gears. Size of capsules has to be as such that a person can be tightly accomodated. This capsule can be pulled up throgh the entire lenght of passage upto exit pont of cave.

I think this is a feasible option - a capsule or a small submarine --- but they have to overcome the problem of bringing into the cave where the water level is very low or no water - good for the areas where water level is beyond 1.5 meters I guess.
Not sure if there is such a small capsule or such small submarine to accomodate one or 2 persons.
