The November 16-18 programme cost VND458 million (US$20,298), with VND387 million (US$17,152) sourced from the AFEPS.
Experts provided the local fishermen with basic skills to prevent and handle diving-related accidents.
Each trainee received a diving cylinder set from the AFEPS after the course, which aimed to help participating fishermen know how to rescue themselves and pass the knowledge to others as well as know scuba equipment maintenance.
A similar AFEPS scuba course was scheduled for another 24 fishermen in Quang Ngai’s Ly Son island between November 19 and 24.
