[QUOTE="RIslander, post: 1202927, member: 6380"] I would say the best solution would be to run a line and oxygen tube into the cave to pressurize it. Then, focusing on keeping water levels as low as possible until they're low enough the kids can walk out. The problem is medical problems are inevitable but honestly it's the only real option. I'm an experienced diver and have cavern dived extensively (that's a cave where there is ambient light and a fairly clear path to the surface) and even that can be dangerous. I suppose another option could be sedating the kids, putting on full diving masks and helmets and attaching them to the line via a harness, then towing them by the line and the oxygen tube slowly, with the professional divers guiding the tow operator via radio. A far fetched idea. This situation will most likely result in tragedy. Also, to the earlier poster calling out the kid smiling... A Thai could be on the gallows with a noose around his neck and still be smiling. [/QUOTE]
