Let’s face it, every single one of us has been impacted to one degree or another by Coronavirus. There is a quote going around social media about how during this time we are not all in the same boat. We agree with the statement in the post that we are all in the same storm, but each of us face a different journey. Here at Deep Blue, we work with a variety of customers. The majority of these are local retail dive centers, but we also work with the direct public from a broad cross-section of industries and income levels.
The nature of our business means that we work closely with our resort and liveaboard suppliers too. As you can imagine, our own world has been thrown completely off balance since Coronavirus first began, and the interactions we have almost daily, between our travelers and industry partners, cause us to emotionally swing from hope and positivity for our planet and for humanity to sitting with our heads in our hands choking back tears.
There are so many in need of help and support. There are others able to provide it and have been asking how. In response, we are providing links on our site to various foundations and fundraisers, many of which help the local staff or community at your favorite destinations.
If you are aware of one we have missed either at home or abroad, please let us know as we will be glad to add them. We won’t know that you have contributed, so we would like to thank you in advance for your generosity if you give. Hopefully before long we will be able to support these locations and many more in person and see their smiling faces for ourselves. Until then, we hope you and yours are safe and well.
