You knew something would happen on Friday the 13th - can be good or bad. Well, great news - PLEASE CONGRATULATE KEI ON CERTIFYING 100TH DAN PROVIDER at DEMP (Diving Emergency Management Provider) course held at the shop this evening!

Proud 100th DAN provider was Steve Jones, one of our Instructors in Training, who happened to finish exams faster than others. :) It was around 10:15pm.

To celebrate her 100th DAN provider, there were special Dortoni's cupcakes at the classroom. Please congratulate her next time you see her, but DO NOT GIVE HER ANY MORE CUPCAKES because she already ate 2...

Since her DAN instructor certification for 6 different modules in May of last year, she has trained our staff and divers who committed themselves in Dive Safety Educations, mostly local divers. Past March, at the consumer dive show, Beneath the Sea, she co-taught DAN O2 for SCUBA and AED for SCUBA with Gene Tappen, our previous Health & Safety Instructor, with our certified assistant, Jim Vafeas. The class was 3 spots left to the Full and students were coming from all Tri-State, PA, as far as VA. The workshop was successful.

Last year only, she has certified approximately 60 DAN providers and was awarded the Training Recognition Award from Divers Alert Network. Kei has already fulfilled the requirement for the 2007 TRA also.

Her goal this year to become a DES Instructor - the highest Instructor/Instructor Trainer recognition provided from Divers Alert Network.
