 It was time to launch what would be later described as superhuman rescue efforts, one that involved nearly 100 Thai and foreign divers. The journey was split into two sections. The first, from the boys' rocky ledge to chamber three, was more difficult. Rescuers made their way for hours through pitch-dark waters that were bone-chilling cold, feeling their way with guide ropes. At times, they had to navigate sections so ridiculously narrow they could only fit just a body through.
