Good sense of adventure and being a tight knit team to begin with has to be aiding them. Shit at 10 its easy to run head long into dangerous (exciting) scenarios with zero realization that you actually have to climb back down the tree. They had an adult with them, have to imagine he'll have more than some 'splaining to do with authorities down the road.
I knew a few combat divers in the service. The scuba training was amongst the toughest. Don’t quote me but the only 17% of those who go through it the rest have a Big Chicken Dinner or what you prob know as fail it
Water has a way of screwing with your head and leaving the body semi useful. I've listened to a couple of old vets talk about early Frogman days and couldn't imagine it

. Did they fully boot and discharge or demote divers who failed training?
Didn't realize the kids are still in isolation. Poor parents standing in the viewing windows waving like they are born all over again lol.
