Andy and Pedro volunteered (...or were volunteered...) to shave their heads to raise money for Philip, a divemaster at Atlantis who was recently diagnosed with leukemia. The Philippines do not have a national health service, so any treatment must be paid for from money raised. Philip is the sole earner for his family, so a foundation has been set up to pay for his medical cost, and allow him to have the treatment he so badly needs. (more details here)

Andy began the evening sporting a crew cut, so his haircut didn't take too long, but Pedro's treasured locks took much longer to remove. Well done to both of them, and best wishes to Philip.
