Saturday/Sunday 22/23 October 2016 The team were called out at 4:30pm to reports of a caver (m) who had been hit by a falling rock whilst climbing the 80m deep Leviathan pitch in JH, near Castleton. He had suffered head injuries but impressively he was able to complete the climb to the top of the pitch under his own steam. His companion continued to the surface to call DCRO. When the team arrived first aid was administered, the casualty was wrapped against the cold and put in a stretcher. The team then lowered him down the remaining pitches and through boulder constrictions. Here a further team of twenty volunteers supported by Ambulance Service Hazardous Area Response Team paramedics were waiting to take him out to the surface along over a kilometre of partly flooded cave and mine passages. The surface was reached after an 8 hour rescue involving over 50 cavers.

Friday 23 September 2016 DCRO was mobilised to go to the aid of an injured sheep trapped under a boulder. The team were stood down after the animal was reported dead.

Wednesday 31 August 2016 One member of a party of two cavers returning from a Round Trip was too tired to be able to climb Garlands Pot and her companion was unable to offer sufficient help to get her up without further assistance. DCRO turned out and a small team successfully hauled her up the pitch and escorted her to the surface. She was unharmed but very tired and cold.

Saturday/Sunday 6-7 August 2016 A party of four experienced cavers were reported overdue on a trip to Calcite Aven via JH. A DCRO team was called out and contact was quickly made with the party who reached the foot of the entrance shaft shortly after DCRO members began arriving on site. The party were tired but unharmed and the team stood by until they were all safely on the surface.

Friday 13 November 2015 An elderly tourist had got into difficulty on the steps. DCRO was called to assist by PDMRO. Team was mobilised and the first to get to the Cavern along with members of BMRT and EMRT found that the ambulance crew had already got the casualty to the surface. He had only been halfway down the first steps apparently.

Wednesday 20 May 2015 A caver had an uncontrolled abseil down Garlands Pot and sustained chest injuries. Once hauled up the pitch he was able to make his way slowly to the surface with assistance. This was rescue number 40 from Giants Hole. Spookily, the time of call out (21:03) was exactly the same as the last call to Garlands Pot in February.

Saturday 14 February 2015 A novice caver suffering from exhaustion and mild hypothermia at Garlands Pot. She was assisted back to the surface after rewarming. This was our 39th call out to Giants and 16th to Garlands Pot.
