Hero Of The Tham Luang Cave Rescue | Craig Challen OAM - 435

Craig Challen developed an interest in a pretty atypical pastime, cave diving. He became one of Australia's leading technical divers, tacking some of the deepest underwater caves around the world. (Now I'm all for a punch in the face in the boxing ring but underwater cave diving sounds terrifying to me). 

However, fortunately Craig doesn't find this terrifying...

In June and July 2018, a junior soccer team, aged 11 to 16, and their 25-year-old assistant coach, found themselves trapped deep within the Tham Luang cave in Northern Thailand after heavy rainfall partially flooded the cave system on June 23rd. The rescue effort involved more than 10,000 people, including more than 100 divers, scores of rescue workers, representatives from about 100 governmental agencies, 900 police officers, and 2,000 soldiers. Ten police helicopters, seven ambulances, more than 700 diving cylinders, and pumping of more than one billion litres of water from the caves were required.

The boys were rescued by our lad Craig Challen and his dive partner Richard Harris between July 8-10. 

Legit hero!
