The divers themselves said it was a great risk bringing them out and the only reason they eventually took the risk they did was because the rain continued and it was feared that the water level would rise. You can be the best diver in the world, but have no idea how to handle panicked kids who have no dive training.

    That douchebag diver did succeed though. There were like a dozen people involved that were the best in the world at what they do and that's the plan they came up with and it worked. US and Thai navy seals couldn't do any better. Maybe if Harry was an engineer / cave diver instead of an anaesthesiologist / cave diver they would have come up with the submarine idea. > that just means the cave diver who was in communication with Musk gave him incorrect data in the first place Citation needed?
