I would think two divers should be able to swim one at a time out if the can just teach them to breathe from a scuba tank.

Are you following the "kids in the cave" story?

It has to be pitch black dark in there too, right? What have they been eating?
Cant imagine teaching somebody to dive in those conditions, much less swim. Why not just run an air hose down there or something like this?
At some time the coach had to think heading further into the cave was not a great idea.

Divers went in and located them as well as distributed 4 months worth of rations and medical supplies.
A long air line would be risky as its a little more than 3 miles (according to the diagram in OP’s post) from the entrance of the cave. They went in, got trapped by rising water and had no other choice but to push further in. Its so tight in places, the divers had to remove their gear to get through.
I think the tunnel plan from above may be their best chance as long as there is still access via trained divers and medical.

They were in the wrong place at the wrong time for sure. I am extremely claustrophobic so I have been following along morbidly. Some might blame the coach for being a tardo but seeing the flash floods here in TX you can see how it can go bad in a few seconds.
I just don't get how they came up with the 4 months before rescue.
I googled trapped miners and they usually make it out in a month or so. I get that they have the capability to dig faster than most but 4 months seems pretty extreme.

if they can get them food and rations, they can get them out with scuba. apparently there is a current in some of the water?!
i'm sure they brought them some lights. wonder if they had any batteries left in their lights when they were found. that's enough to make anyone go crazy in the pitch dark.
