11:20 am
arrived too to the cave and the kids were get to the phone we were going out there not knowing 100 percent what kind of vision of me going into what was going in to save some kids or the going to recover some bodies and i think myself and many of the audit rescue groups we were probably expecting to find a means some of them not at all. it was terrifying to think about that maybe you're going to be diving around and then the next thing you got to bump into is that get annoyed it turned out be that that was not the situation that i was part of getting before the 1st trips although i made kind of work pretty good. i was sitting in the 6th which is mostly cough way into where i would be but the kids were found i wasn't sure myself or my dive buddies voice to support the divers and the kids at their board coming out. well we could actually see the diver i always see the light
