Thailand Cave Rescue, Chris Jewel

My experience in the international effort to recover 12 junior footballers from the flooded Tham Luang Nang Non cave


 

Luang Nang Non Cave Rescue

British Cave Rescue Team member Chris Jewell gave us a talk about his experience as one of eight cave rescue divers from the UK who assisted the international effort to recover 12 junior footballers and their coach from the flooded Tham Luang Nang Non cave in Chiang Rai Province, Thailand, July 2018

The British Prime Minister hosted a reception at 10 Downing Street for the team and in November the team were given the Pride of Britain Award 2018, for 'Outstanding Bravery' at a ceremony in London which the rescued children attended

QUEEN'S MEDAL FOR GALLANTRY

Jewel and 4 team members are the first ever also to receive the Medal of Valor from the Professional Association of Diving Instructors of America 

We are delighted to learn that in November 

Chris Jewell was awarded the Queen's Gallantry Medal
