I remember how paranoid I was as a Camp Counselor. This does seem like a case of someone in charge deciding “what hasn’t happened can’t ever happen”. As far as getting them out through water? They don’t know how to swim and their muscle strength must be just about gone. I wonder if they could do any more than crawl out and keep their balance. Crazy thought....could they put them in induced comas and carry them out?

I thought about that as well.

What I heard today is that there are parts of the underwater journey out that are so narrow only one person fits through at a time. So no, they can’t be anesthetized and brought out. But if they start training now, they can get used to the suits and breathing in them, and can use ropes through those tighter spots. They won’t need to learn how swim, they just need to learn how not to panic.

How about a flexible, water-tight tube for them to be pulled through - kind of like a mile and half straw.
