Thailand cave rescue: Boys 'could be in cave for months'

Twelve boys and their football coach trapped in a Thai cave are alive, but will need to learn to dive or wait months for flooding to recede before they can get out, the army says.

The group had been missing for nine days before they were found by divers late on Monday on a small dry ledge.

Rescuers are now battling rising water to bring more supplies to the group.

They may need to have food sent in for at least the next four months, according to the military.

Two British rescuer divers who had flown over to join the search operation found the boys on Monday night.

The 12 boys are all members of a local football team, the youngest of them only aged 11.

The 25-year old coach who got trapped with them is known to have taken them on occasional excursions and field trips.

Maltese flagged CAELUM motor cruiser detained in Fiskardo for illegal charter. Apparently five foreign nationals boarded at Zakynthos at an agreed price of 50,000€ for fifteen days hire.

"Campers" might be the word - presumably they'd be stuck in Fiskardo and have to find accommodation - just at the height of the season.

Hmm, having your boat impounded for illegal charter - bet that makes a Maltese cross.
