Thailand cave rescue: The Brits who helped find the boys
The British Cave Rescue Council (BCRC) - the body for voluntary underground rescue in the British Isles - said it has been in contact with the British divers since their return. Bill Whitehouse, the council's vice chairman, said the men had described the dive as "gnarly" in an email, meaning there were complications and problems. It was a three-hour round trip, involving a 1.5km passage, partly flooded and partly open, he told BBC's Breakfast.
Mr Volanthen and Mr Stanton are part of the South and Mid Wales Cave Rescue Team.
"Both John and Rick have been involved in a good number of rescues over the years, and they've both got an awful lot of personal expertise to take to Thailand," the team's chairman, Gary Mitchell, said.
In France in 2010 the pair were part of a team which attempted to rescue a trapped diver.
Mr Stanton, a retired firefighter from Coventry, was also involved in the rescue of six British cavers in Mexico in 2004. During that rescue Mr Stanton was able to persuade one of the group - who was terrified of water - to make a 180-metre dive out of the cave, the West Midlands Fire Service said. Mr Stanton was made an MBE in the New Year's Honours List at the end of 2012 for his cave diving rescue services.
Mr Volanthen is an IT consultant based in Bristol but who grew up in Brighton. He started caving as a scout. Speaking to the Sunday Times in 2013, he said cave rescue requires a calm head.
"Panic and adrenaline are great in certain situations - but not in cave-diving," he said. "The last thing you want is any adrenaline whatsoever." He added: "It [cave diving] is like that puzzle with the fox, the chicken and the grain. It's not dangerous if you do it right."
In 2012, both men received a Royal Humane Society medal at Buckingham Palace, in recognition of their rescue attempt in France.
The third British expert, Robert Harper, has been caving since 1968.
