Scott Tuason
Book Festival Speaker
Scott “Gutsy” Tuason began his romance
with the sea when he was still legally too
young to dive, but this did not prevent him
from going with his father on diving trips
around the country. Over the years, his work
has been published in numerous books
and magazines, notably, Philippine Coral
Reefs, a collaborative work with Filipino
artist Rafael Cusi and magazines Asian Diver,
Action Asia and Philippines Diver. Gutsy’s
photographs have been exhibited at several
shows sponsored by WWF and he continues
to be a WWF contributing photographer.
Gutsy is also a director of Concerned Divers
of the Philippines, an environmental group
engaged in marine conservation awareness
and environmental rehabilitation projects.
