Heroic Decision Making - The Tham Luang Cave Rescue | Dr. Richard Harris

Heroic Decision Making - The Tham Luang Cave Rescue | Dr. Richard Harris

This week’s conversation is with Dr. Richard “Harry” Harris, an Australian anesthetist and cave diver who played a crucial role in the Tham Luang cave rescue.

For those of you unfamiliar, it’s an incredible story…

In June 2018, Harry was about to depart on a cave diving holiday to the Nullarbor Plain.

He and dive partner Craig were requested by the Thai government, on the advice of British cave diving experts attempting to rescue twelve Thai children and their soccer coach who were trapped in the Tham Luang Nang Non cave system… to provide assistance with the rescue efforts.

They were jointly awarded 2019 Australian of the Year as a result of that rescue.

I wanted to speak with Harry to understand how he did it… what gave him the courage to put his life on the line on a whim for strangers?

I think you’ll be fascinated to not only hear about Dr. Harry’s first hand experience but also the mental skills he utilized – imagery, calm, confidence, focus… it’s all there.
