Nineteen high-powered pumps are in place to reduce the water level, which has come down by one centimetre each hour.
"The problem is there is not enough power if we are running many pumps at the same time," said Thai fireman Poonshak Wonjsangiam.

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.
