The Cave
This cave system runs for many miles underground and is explorable from November to June. It is prone to seasonal flooding during the monsoon months: June to October. Apparently there are warning signs discouraging visits during the rainy season.

The moment the group are found
This is the transcript of the conversation between Rick Stanton, John Volanthen and the trapped children.
John: How many of you [are there]?
Children: Thirteen
John: Thirteen? Brilliant!
John: There's two of us.... we had to dive.
John: We're coming, it's ok. Many people are coming. We are the first.
Children ask what day it is
John: Monday. One week and Monday. You have been here 10 days. You are very strong, very strong.
