Since most professional diving rescuers in Thailand were transferred to Chiang Rai to rescue the youth football team and its coach trapped in Sleeping Beauty Cave in the northern mountainous area (see Sleeping Beauty Cave rescue operation), most of the people involved in diving search and rescue two days after the shipwreck accident were local commercial diving company personnel, volunteers and diving enthusiasts. A total of dozens of people with diving training participated in the search and rescue.
Because the water depth of the sunken ship is 47 meters, divers form a relay team every 5 meters to transport the bodies of the victims found. The sunken ship is full of various items: shoes, broken glass, various items carried by tourists, debris and so on. Divers must enter the cabin very carefully. The cabin is like an underwater grave: the bodies of many victims are floating in the water, and a mother is still holding her child tightly. The bodies of other victims were hung on the railings of the sunken ship or scattered on the seabed around the sunken ship.
Dominic Robnik, a South African diver who participated in the search and rescue, described the scene in the cabin as "very, very tragic" and said that there were no fewer than six bodies of the victims who were sent to the sea by his hands, and another body was pressed at the bottom of the ship. Professional equipment must be used to assist in salvage. By the evening of the 7th, volunteers stopped the search and rescue work one after another, and the Royal Thai Navy took over. According to the Bangkok Post, the Thai navy expanded its search scope to Phi Phi Phi Island in Krabi.
