A British diver who helped save a junior football team from a cave in Thailand has himself been rescued from a flooded tunnel in the US after more than a day underground.

Josh Bratchley failed to return to the surface with the rest of a party after they emerged from a cave in Jackson County, Tennessee, at around 3pm on Tuesday.

Expert divers were flown in from Arkansas and Florida and a rescue dive began at around 6pm on Wednesday evening.

"After the diver was rescued and brought out of the water, he stated that he was fine," a statement said.

Bratchley was part of a crack team of British cave diving experts who helped save 12 schoolboys and their football coach from a flooded cave in Thailand last year.

Bill Whitehouse, vice-chairman of the British Cave Rescue Council, said Bratchley entered Mill Pond Cave on Tuesday to replace a guideline.
