#2I'm pleasantly surprised to see that they've been able to survive this long without access to food and possibly clean water. I can't imagine what it would feel like to be stuck in a cave for nine days and then suddenly see two divers show up as part of the rescue effort!

you can survive over a month without food, but they must have found some water.
update: they are surrounded by water which gets contaminated by their excrements. not good.

They were stuck in a cave that was flooding. Plenty of water to go around. Probably not the cleanest but will do in an emergency.

#5Earlier reports was that the water in the cave is like cold coffee and it is easily one of the worst environment to try get non-divers through several km of cave diving. The technical details will be interesting to see once they hopefully solve the problem of getting everyone out.

They are now expected to have to survive in the cave for several months more, before rescue :(

> rescuers have said they may have to wait several weeks for the water to subside before they can be taken out.
Ouch
> Trying to take non-divers through a cave is one of the most dangerous situations possible, even if the dives are relatively easy. That also begets the question: if the dives are difficult then supply will be difficult, but the risk of trying to dive them out is also exponentially greater

Yes, I'd like to know where they found water clean enough to drink, or a way to make it clean. Floodwater runoff is probably not the best thing to ingest…

Sounds like they aren't going to try and solve that problem. It's going to be wait for several months or possibly learn rudimentary diving skills
