Rescuing the boys from the cave — Richard Harris
Medicine and diving have been twin themes of South Australian anaesthetist Richard ‘Harry’ Harris’ adult life.

He and close friend Craig Challen were about to leave on a cave diving adventure in July 2018 when they got news of a group of boys marooned in a flooded cave in Thailand.

One of the cave divers at the scene called Richard. He asked if it would be possible to extract the boys by carrying them out under heavy sedation. Richard’s response was that it was out of the question.

But by the time he got to Thailand, he realised it was the only feasible solution to bringing the boys out alive.

Richard and Craig were jointly named as 2019 Australian of the Year for their roles in the rescue mission.

Copies of Against All Odds are available for loan from the ANZCA Library.
