He was retired as a scientific councillor and still lecturing speleobiology to graduate and post-graduate students. His research focuses on the faunistics of troglobionts and biospeleology in general. He described over a hundred new species, some genera and a family of invertebrates, mostly crustaceans and leeches. A new biogeographic classification of Dinaric cave fauna. First ecological investigations of anchihaline fauna. Sket joined the ranks of in 1950 and in 1964 he discovered Borisov rov [Boris Tunnel], an important part of cave.
