Another interesting tidbit:
Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk tweeted Monday that he had visited the cave and left behind a mini-sub rescue vehicle “in case it may be useful in the future.”
Just returned from Cave 3. Mini-sub is ready if needed. It is made of rocket parts & named Wild Boar after kids’ soccer team. Leaving here in case it may be useful in the future. Thailand is so beautiful. pic.twitter.com/EHNh8ydaTT

Honestly, what Elon Musk did comes across as incredibly opportunistic. Not helpful, but self-promotional. To me, that’s how he comes across.
That inflatable “sub” was manufactured here in Humboldt county by Wing Inflatables a manufacturer of various raft like boats...
