Thanks for sharing. That brought to question the guy who drowned in the caves to save those kids. Why was he alone and if he knew more than half his oxygen was gone just getting there why did he try to get back unless there was another reason.
Don’t know where that stretcher video came from can’t find it now but others show a diver in front holding the child’s oxygen and one behind them. It looked like a big tank from drawings so too heavy for the child anyways. The child was wearing a face mask. On assent in one part they had to get over the areas too narrow so the kids have to separate from them to reach the top. I don’t know if the divers had to take the oxygen off their back to get through themselves.
The important thing if they or anyone new at it for that fact Trust. If they don’t trust them they will not want to go with them and will not trust if anything went wrong they could rely on them, something that is usually like you said a buddy system. You’ll see that in recreational diving where they can have so so divers despite training in a hurry out for money like they are in every sport now.
It is one sport that requires training from one person to the next unlike others you can learn yourself and your own limits.
I’m sure they took that in consideration and discussed that prior to their crash course and made sure each one was trained well enough to get through their first dive by the best in the business.
