The Group are lucky to have The founder & Instructor Trainer Anuar Abdullah to conduct the 4 day Course. During these 4 days , we learn about knowledge about the Corals, such as their species, habitats, contributions to the environment. Of course, we also gain experience on how to handle the Corals & Propagation Process. During the practical , we have visited the nursery set up by Annuar & we also pick up live rocks & Pulps for the Propagation. Ocean quest global emphasis on using live rocks & catalyst for the coral propagation instead of the man made structure that cost a lot of money & become ocean trash once the project are not taken care or abandoned due to insufficient fund. 

We are happy to gain such experiences & knowledge and wish to share the knowledge by training more Coral propagation Diver . Trainer Who had their dive Centre also can setup their own nursery in their house reef or teach the local community how to use the correct way to propagate the Corals .
