From Fox News:

“A group of 18 divers — 13 foreign and five Thai — began the operation at 10 a.m. Sunday local time to bring the 13 people out of the Tham Luang Nang Non cave in Chiang Rai province after the area saw mild weather and falling water levels in the cave. “

The boys, ages 11-16, and their 25-year-old coach became stranded when they went exploring in the cave after a practice game on June 23.
