The 2 British men who are leading the rescue operation are John Volanthen and Rick Stanton. They are universally regarded as the best cave divers in the world.

They were the ones who found the boys & are now leading the rescue mission.

This is Dr Richard Harris, a South Australian doctor who is among the experts involved in the rescue mission to retrieve 12 schoolboys and their football coach from a cave in Thailand. He is the one who determines which one of the boys will come out first #ThaiCaveRescue pic.twitter.com/Vi2vBlvpxN

#ThaiCaveRescue this is Saman, the rescuer that died after bringing oxygen to the kids.
This is the last photo of him on site.
He did not die by drowning as some people say. He died due to lack of oxygen (the levels were very low) pic.twitter.com/EjtDxnRlU2

Remember to this brave man, Saman Gunan, a former Thai navy SEAL, who died by running out of oxygen while delivering oxygen tank to save the lives of 12 trapped boys and their coach inside the cave. #ThaiCaveRescue pic.twitter.com/sAQwbKhz9a

please don't forget about the coach - he has kept the boys alive, and calm the whole time, gave them his food, making him weak, and will be the last out of the cave... most importantly he is only 25, he is so young and has done so well #ThaiCaveRescue

This is Thai Navy Seal Saman Gunan. He died whilst helping to prepare oxygen for the 12 boys and their coach. Remember this hero. 🙏 #ThaiCaveRescue pic.twitter.com/Ay5ukqZPNE

This is highly emotional. One former Thai Navy diver lost his life in the cave during rescue preparations, now 18 divers have gone in to rescue the boys. Let's all wish them well.

SpaceX and a California company called Wing Inflatables have reportedly built pods to help with the #ThaiCaveRescue

They tested them in pools before sending them to scene of the rescue.

If there's anything good to come out of the #ThaiCaveRescue mission aside from all the boys coming out alive, it's the capacity of humanity to unite around a common cause. Everyone working together, pitching in ideas. Isn't it beautiful? https://t.co/s2E507pQb1
