Video about Return to Tham Luang cave - stranded dive equipment at Pattaya beach, 2400km inside the cave from the exit. Now that is has been a year since the successful rescue of the Thai football team and their coach from the Tham Luang cave, I think it would be appropriate to share some footage from inside the cave to show how it looks like after the operation and without the muddy water.
When I heard in January that there was a plan to attempt to re-enter the cave, I volunteered immediately. I was called in, together with the cave experts Vern Unsworth and Joshua Morris, the Thai Navy SEALs, local park rangers, and the governor, to survey the cave conditions and document the massive amount of equipment left behind when the floodwaters rushed us out.
Inside the cave, there was literally tons and tons of all sorts of equipment that was used to keep the water levels down and support the diving attempts. We found tens of kilometres of different kinds of hoses, zip lines, electric lines, telephone lines, hundreds of air cylinders (there was even one tank still jammed in the cave ceiling reminding us of the power of the floodwaters), dive equipment, industrial pumps, tools etc. I also found some of our team’s equipment that we left behind, but this time we were not allowed to touch anything.

I will upload the full version of the Tham Luang survey later to my YouTube account.
