When asked about his first reaction as he saw the first set of boys who were rescued he admitted that he was "very scared".
The Thai Navy SEALs shared a photo of four courageous men who stayed with the soccer team trapped inside a cave as the world celebrated their successful rescue mission.
The rescue operation was not a major trending topic on social media in China, where interest in an accident involving a boat carrying mostly Chinese tourists off the Thai resort island of Phuket claiming at least 44 lives generated far more interest.
A medic and three Thai navy SEALs had stayed with the boys on a small, dry shelf deep in the flooded cave and are due to come out as well.
At a news conference Monday, former Chiang Rai governor Narongsak Osotthanakorn said the second rescue involved numerous same divers who brought the four boys out on Sunday.
The divers and medic, whose names were not immediately released, were all healthy after making the arduous journey out of the underground maze from the chamber almost 3 miles deep where they helped the once wayward group and kept them calm as plans to extract them were being hatched, officials said.
Because the team was trapped in an underground tunnel, 2 1/2 miles from the mouth of the cave, getting them out was hard.

Staff previously said their first assessments would focus on the boys' breathing and signs of hypothermia, as well as a potentially fatal lung infection known as cave disease.
"But of course, they were conscious", he said. "They are getting forced to do something that no kid has ever done before", Ivan Karadzic, a diver involved with the rescue mission told BBC.
When the team of rescue divers emerged from the entrance of the cave in their wet suits, people yelled "Thank you!" in English and Thai, reaching out their hands to high-five them.
On Monday, the evacuation of four boys took 11 hours. The youngest footballer, an 11-year-old boy, and the coach were in the last batch. A former Thai navy SEAL died Friday while replenishing oxygen canisters laid at regular intervals along the route out of the sprawling cave.
Billionaire tech entrepreneur Elon Musk applauded the rescue of a Thai boys soccer team and their coach after they were saved from a flooded cave in northern Thailand. The first four evacuees had already removed their eye-protecting sunglasses and had started taking solid food.
All evacuees were blindfolded as they were moved from Tham Luang to the hospital, to protect eyes that had not seen sunlight for two weeks.
Global rescue teams had worked around the clock after the boys were discovered by British divers, to try to drain the caves enough to rescue them.
