The 6 local youths who are members of the Redang Marine Conservation Group (RMCG) were recently trained as Open-Water (OA) divers. This dive course was sponsored by RCM, as the team will be busy with many dive-related day-to-day tasks. We will slowly be equipping the team with necessary skills that will be beneficial for them and the work that they will be undertaking around their own island.
