JUST IN: Emergency crews in Tennessee on Wednesday night have safely retrieved a missing British cave diver who was part of the dramatic rescue of a Thai youth soccer team last year.

— was in good shape and refused medical treatment, the Jackson County Sheriff's Office.

Bratchley was with a small team of British divers who have been exploring the cave system for two or three days, said Ethan Burris, a spokesman for the Jackson County Emergency Management Agency. The group called 911 shortly after midnight Tuesday when members noticed that Bratchley was unaccounted for after their last dive Tuesday afternoon, Burris said. Burris said the group's members waited to call 911 because they were searching for their colleague themselves.

A trained diver was sent into the cave system about 6 p.m. Wednesday and found Bratchley about an hour later, authorities said.Lt. Brian Krebs, a cave rescue specialist for the Chattanooga Hamilton County Rescue Service — members of which were flown in by the state Highway Patrol to help in the rescue — said the dive that rescue specialists made Wednesday night was about 400 feet long through a tight passage.
