2018 – Thailand – Cave Rescue

On June 23, 12 young boys from a Thai soccer team and their coach became trapped inside the Cave in Chang Rai, Thailand. The plight of the missing football team would result in a massive world-wide rescue effort and capture the attention of media across the globe. AUSMAT trained Doctor Richard Harris, an anaesthetist, and his diving partner, retired veterinarian Doctor Craig, both cave diving specialists, joined international and local divers to successfully retrieve all 13 in a remarkable rescue.
