Hi
My name is Kerry Hasell. I am based in Hong Kong but will be doing a lot of diving in the Philippines over the next couple of years. Have dived Puerto Galera and Boracay so far and I am doing Anilao and Nasugbu in JUne. Any advice gratefully received. I am a teacher in HK and have Master Scuba qualification from Padi.

Diving since: 1984
Certs: Commercial Sat/Mixed Gas. ERDI. PADI through DM, TDI through Adv Trimix
Fav Dive: Wet
Dream Dive: Have you seen the movie The Abyss?
Equipment: A ghetto mix of stuff I've accumulated over the years that seems to work for me. Highlights would be mostly OMS stuff on the back, VR3 computers, full face mask w/ radios. Always a spare bottle hooked somewhere.

I make it to the Philippines 1-2x a year, try to dive as much as possible. You can easily spot me as I'm the tall American Indian with the pile of large pelican cases full of dive gear.
