Confusing news. Another CNN source says to delay for another day:
Thai cave rescue suspended for the day after four more boys freed - CNN
As far as I can see, that was yesterday. Now The Guardian also says that the third round is underway and that it has been confirmed by Thai authorities: Thai cave rescue mission: boys must stay in hospital at least a week - live updates

EDIT: Here's a recent CNN article: Thai cave rescue: Operation resumes on day 3 to free final 5 - CNN
 
Good deal @Storker Thai cave rescue mission: third operation underway to free last four boys and coach – live

"Final mission underway
Thai authorities have confirmed today’s rescue mission began at 10.08 this morning (local time), with 19 divers going in.

Despite the heavy rain overnight, conditions in the cave haven’t changed much.

Michael Safi reports there was applause in the room as the rescue chief announced the four boys and their coach will be brought out in the one mission."

Hopefully by 4pm local time we will start seeing them coming out of the cave. :)

Last known pic of Saman Kunan. May he never be forgotten.
 
Concentration falls off a cliff after 7/8 hours of mental activity. Whether tiredness did or didn’t play a part it’s a bad idea to push the envelope when exhausted. But then there’s 13 people needing rescued and rains coming so you can appreciate why many people have been pushing the boundaries.
 
Those Thai Navy SEAL don’t need BCD or wing. Just stick Scuba tank on their back plate, reg & mask, they are good to go into the Tham Luang sump. :D
Anyone want to talk about acceptable/standard equipment in cave diving?
