They say that the boys might have to stay in the cave as long as four months. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/03/world/asia/thai-cave-rescue-soccer-team.html

Wow that is crazy. Hopefully they can find a better route and be able to safely get them out without having to do a difficult cave dive.

Yeah I think I'd rather do the dive than wait that amount of time underground.

Yeah me too. But apparently it's a 3 hour dive through catacombs that are sometimes as narrow as your shoulders. There's nowhere to surface and if water gets in the mask and they panic, it's all over.

It's going to be a long wait then :(
