. The rescuers put kids in "cassettes" to help transport them safely thru flooded areas.

I assume those helmets are underground communication devices....no?

Danish cave diver Ivan Karadzic, who is stationed at "Camp 6" to assist the rescue divers said that the divers believe today's operation was "even more smoothly executed than yesterday," which may be a result of less water being in the cave system.

He said that the boys were indeed wearing a full face mask as well as several wetsuits "to minimize heat loss.” This is because the water is very cold and they are “very skinny," he said.

The boys are attached to the divers with a small line called a "body line," which he says is "common to use in low visibility" in order "to minimize any kind of risk."

Yesterday, when he saw the kids in "Camp 6," he said they were “looking good considering the situation they were in."

That’s a great method as it can keep the kids calm. The kids do not know how to swim.

Also, parts of the choke points are NO VISIBILITY areas with rough currents, a combination of could cause a kid to panic as they become disoriented and full of fear.

Those cassettes can protect against bumping up against rock carried by high currents in a pitch black dark. And this goes on for miles. One can imagine an overwhelming fear striking each kid as they don’t know up from down or which direction. Their lives are in the hands of the divers.
