Authorities in northern Chiang Rai province began the dangerous mission to bring out the 12 boys and their soccer coach earlier on Sunday. Rescue operations ended for the day after all 12 divers returned to the base camp, reports suggest.
Earlier, reports suggests that four boys, among a group of 13 trapped in a flooded cave had reached the rescue base camp inside the complex.
"Four boys have reached chamber three and will walk out of the cave shortly," Lieutenant-General Kongcheep Tantrawanit had said, referring to the area where rescue workers had set up a base.
"We are giving them a physical examination. They have not been moved to Chiang Rai hospital yet," Tossathep told Reuters.
