CADC PROVIDING TECHNICAL INSIGHTS TO MAJOR NEWS NETWORKS ON THAI CAVE RESCUE OPERATION.
By CADC Admin ~ July 9th, 2018. Filed under: Latest Diving News, Safety, Uncategorized.
The Canadian Association of Diving Contractors (CADC) has been providing technical and operational background insights to major Canadian news networks on the ongoing rescue efforts being conducted in Thailand of thirteen members of a soccer team trapped in a cave.
To date, the rescue of several boys has been successfully completed with the unfortunate death of a former Thailand Navy Seal during staging operations. Dive crews consist of the Thailand Navy Seal units and highly professional civilian cave divers from several countries.
“It is important that the public understand the true complexities and the dangers of the mission at hand. It is also important to know that the teams involved in the rescue attempt are professionals – and what seems to be a daunting task to those who aren’t “in the business” – it is an example of challenges professional divers are up against routinely. And – although appearing “impossible” – these teams will simply not give up. They WILL find another way if the present plan falters.”
Our thoughts go out to the all those involved in the operation to succeed in the mission. Giving up is not in the vocabulary of a professional diver. They will do their absolute best – and beyond. It’s what they do.
