thanks Ac
apparently some parts of the flooded tunnel are so narrow that the divers have to take off their oxygen tanks. to fit through.. and that's where the problem is

How did they get through a gap so small that you can’t swim through with a tank on.? Is the way out different to the way in?

Looking at the map it doesn't look easy to get through there even without water, but then it looks like it has almost as much height as where they are now.
I just want it to be over for them.

They are saying the first ones won’t be out before midnight aest, and it could take up to 4 days for them all to get out.

Is the way out different to the way in? looking at the map of the cave.. there are two entrances that fork into one tunnel, no idea which way they went in. The map calls the highestt entrance a "flooded entance" which seems a bit odd in the tightest section of the tunnel the height is only 38 cm high

"CHIANG RAI, Thailand — A team of divers on Sunday began a rescue operation to try and save 12 boys on a soccer team and their coach from the Thailand cave where they have been trapped for two weeks. Chiang Rai Gov. Narongsak Osatanakorn told reporters at a briefing Sunday that the mission to save the 12 boys and their coach from Tham Luang cave began at 10 a.m. local time. A total of 18 expert divers — 13 international and five Thai — will proceed deep into the hillside through the waterlogged passages to the chamber where the team is located. "One boy will be accompanied by two divers. They will come out of the cave one group at a time," Narongsak said... www.nbcnews.com/news/world/thai-officials-clear-media-cave-site-rescue-attempt-trapped-boys-n889626Our thoughts and prayers are with you...

She has no concept of anything outside her own little bubble.
Also assisting... 4 expert divers from UK, British cave experts, Chinese life saving responders, US military team , Australia assisting as well with police divers and medical professionals, volunteer groups from other countries...for starters.
The people doing the water extraction are doing a great job too.
