Rick Stanton delivered the commencement address at Adul Samon’s graduation at a New York school where the pair met again

A British diver who helped rescue 12 members of a Thai youth soccer team who became trapped in a cave in 2018 has rejoiced after getting to personally watch one of the players graduate from a prestigious high school in New York.

Rick Stanton – the diver who had a hand in saving the Wild Boars soccer squad whose entrapment of more than two weeks landed in news headlines across the world – got to reunite with one of the rescued children, Adul Samon, when Samon graduated in mid-June from the Masters School college preparatory outside New York City, according to the institution as well as ABC News.
