They were utterly alone inside the mountain, isolated from the rest of the world. They might as well have been on another planet. In July 2018, 12 boys and their football coach disappeared into Tham Luang Cave in Thailand. Trapped miles beneath the surface, not even the Thai Navy SEALs had the skills to bring them to safety. With the floodwater rising rapidly, time was running out. Any hope of survival rested n Rick Stanton, a retired Midlands firefighter with a living room full of homemade cave-diving equipment. As unlikely as it seemed, to those who know, Rick and his partner, John Volanthe,, were regarded as the A-team for exactly this kind of mission. The Thai Cave Rescue was the apex of a lifelong pursuit of the unknown. While the world held its breath, Rick, John, and their assembled team raced against time in the face of near impossible odds. There was simply no precedent for what they were attempting to do. In Aquanaut Rick reveal the real story of the cave rescue for the first time. And of a life lived without compromise in which any mistake could have been his last. It's an edge-of-your-seat story of courage and conviction that will take you deep into the most remote and unforgiving places on the planet, told with humor, unflinching honesty and a relentless drive for adventure. The rescue watched around the world."--publisher's description. 600 17 $a Stanton, Rick. $2 sears 650 7 $a Cave divers $z Great Britain $v Biography. $2 sears 700 1 $a Dealy, Karen. 655 $a Autobiographies. 941 $a 4 952 $l DPPE403 $d 20240611020554.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20230802013035.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20230503010926.0 952 $l VOPB384 $d 20230421010057.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CE68B878E00911EDBEC23A2635ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
