Wow, horrible decision to make. Hunker down for MONTHS or take novices on their first dive through a cave labyrinth guided by two experts.
Get the right sized full face SCUBA masks for the kids.
Have them put them on and then breath as they sit down into the water.
Its the quickest way to shed the fear of breathing underwater.
Then, have each child share an octopus with the skilled diver and swim them out.
Use an underwater scooter if necessary.
How the hell did they get in this predicament in the first place ?
I do all kinds of wilderness stuff alone
I get into something. I have to get out myself. No one knows where I am an no one is going to save me
The fact that there’s an adult with these kids makes me scratch my head
Now this update. Weird.
Boy Scouts have a saying
Always be prepared.
Short distances with trained rescuers should be a snap.
Diving isn’t that hard. They could buddy up with an experienced diver and, after an hour or so of training, be ready for a dive.
Having said that, I do not know the intricacies of the path they need to follow. There are circumstances of which I am not aware.
But basic buddy diving, I have done that with 11 year olds.
Suit them up, tranquilize them, duct tape them, tow them out, one at a time.
I know nothing about anesthesia. Does anyone know if someone could be fitted with a breathing device, knocked out, and just towed out like baggage?
Does anyone know how this coach and these children got into this predicament?
Remember that time we were over 2 miles into a cave and it flooded and we were trapped for months and there were no video games?
