    1. Diving in the narrow passage that has no space to make a U-turn, this is really dangerous so we need to evaluate the safety measures, principles, routes and expertise in the cave area.
    2. One person has been brought out of the cave safely. Four others remain, awaiting assessment. The search for the remaining two will continue tomorrow.
