Thai diver dies in rescue operation as time runs out
A former diver with an elite Thai navy unit has died while taking part in operations to rescue 12 boys and their soccer coach who have been trapped in a flooded cave in Thailand. The boys have been trapped in a complex cave system in Chiang Rai in northern Thailand since June 23. Divers who have reached the trapped youths are hoping the boys, most of whom cannot swim, can be rescued if they can learn to scuba dive. Conditions have changed and official sources now say that “time is limited”.
