The pictures I saw of water being pumped out of that cave looked like maybe they had a couple of 4inch pumps working. I can tell you if they want to get that water level down that just ain't gonna hack it. Years ago I ran an ocean surf clam boat for the American Original Company. Water was pumped to our dredges by pumps that had 10 inch suction and 8 inch discharge powered by 12 cylinder diesel engines,those pumps pumped about 8 thousand gallons per minute.I believe the boats working now are using even larger rigs. My whole point is if they really want to get those kids out safely they better forget about trying to teach them to SCUBA dive, I was also a commercial diver and Scuba diving instructor and I know what I'm talking about.Get about 4 large pumps powered by large diesel engines and pump that water level down and stop jerking around and DO IT NOW!
