Rescuers have asked for the donation of 15 small full face masks, according to the Thai News of MCOT. This will fuel speculation that rescuers are preparing to guide the boys through the water in full diving gear. | |

Judging by a Microsoft translation of this Twitter update, rescuers told reporters that the medium sized masks that they do have available were too big for the boys. If there are any Thai speakers reading this please email a translation to matthew.weaver@theguardian.com. | |

Asked how feasible it would be to teach the children to dive, he said: “It is certainly not easy. The other alternative is that you literally bring them out in packages. In other words you fit them with diving equipment: a full face mask, instead of having a gag in your mouth like a lot of divers use; package them up; put the correct weights on them so that they are neutrally bouyant and are not going to get stuck again. It has been done before.” | |

They were diving upstream in the system so they were having to swim against the current, or pull themselves along the walls. Some of the cave is fairly constricted and other points aren’t. I gather the actual diving section was about 1.5km, about half of which was completely flooded and about half of which was open. | They were diving upstream in the system so they were having to swim against the current, or pull themselves along the walls.

Whitehouse described the British divers leading the mission as the “A Team”.
