What have all the Western Scuba instructors been up to during the pandemic?
- abrkn 6y agoI haven't spoken to any on Koh Phangan. On Koh Tao (an hour away with boat) they are broke and there's no work. I would guess the situation is the same for diving instructors on Koh Phangan.
- Uberphallus 6y agoI have the feeling that half of the foreigners are broke as they rely on tourism, the other half are doing fine as they're working remotely, how accurate is my assessment?
- ToFab123 6y ago7 year Koh Phangan resident here. Like the rest of us. From march to June the whole island just stayed at home in volunteer self-quarantine. Because of that Corona never arrived here and life is sort of returned to normal. Of course, no new people arrives, because the borders to Thailand are still closed, so it starts to be pretty empty with people on this island and most people are struggling. For many months all beaches was closed so they have not been able to get into the water.
