Default Young Speulunkers lost in Cave

And now they've been found! I've been lightly following this story as it seemed destined for tragedy. But now the 12 Kids, from ages 11 to 16, and their adult soccer coach have been found alive in the cave by Divers. They've been in there for 10 days without food, and were trapped by rising waters from the monsoons. The cave flooded and is only accessible by divers.

For anybody that asks, giving the kids SCUBA tanks and having them follow a diver is really not an option. The environment is one of the hardest you can be in as a Diver, and if one of them starts to panic, which I can almost guarantee will happen, then the kid and the rescue diver will probably die, and end up blocking access till their bodies are removed.
