DEMA 2011
14. November 2011 by KVaughn.
DEMA 2011 in Orlando, Florida was the site of an aggressive 2.5 day strategy by Kevin to refresh his skills, gain product/service updates, and touch base with many S.T.A.R.S. supporters in the dive industry. Kevin felt very fortunate to meet with Margo & Tom Peyton of Kids Sea Camp, Sage Dalton from Teens4Oceans, PADI, Brian Been from Turks & Caicos Tourism, Rogest, Bill Mitchell at Oceanic, Scuba Max, and Christian Ambrosi and Sandra Ullrich from Ocean Encounters in Curacao in addition to attending many exciting destination seminars. Many seeds were planted that should blossom in the coming year for S.T.A.R.S.

EFR Class complete
15. September 2011 by MarkN.
September 3rd at the Kenosha Public Library STARS staff and students got together to complete Emergency First Response Primary (CPR and AED) and Secondary (First Aid) training. With props, AEDs and mannequins assembled from several sources (thanks to all who helped bring gear) we used two very comfortable conference rooms at the Library.
A big change from previous years protocols was the incorporation of more emphasis on chest compressions. Compressions are started earlier, done at a slightly faster rate and depth. It is now also acceptable to include provisions for performing hands only CPR.
Ismael, Cedric, Stephanie, Maurice, Javier, Nicole and Phil completed the training.
Congratulations to ALL!
