It described Dickey as “a highly trained caver and a cave rescuer himself” who has participated in many international expeditions. He is secretary of the association's medical committee. Marton Kovacs of the Hungarian Cave Rescue Service said the cave is being prepared for his safe extraction. Narrow passages are being widened to accommodate the stretcher that rescuers plan to use to hoist him more than 1,000 meters to the surface, and the danger of falling rocks is also being addressed.
The cave has been divided into several sections, with each country’s rescue team being responsible for one section.
