Extraordinary service and a very pleasant diving experience
The service on this liveaboard was by far the best of all the liveaboards I have been to (12). No matter if it was a dive deck, a dining room or the room service, the crew was amazing. The boat is nice, new, smartly built. The chefs paid full attention to my allergies. The diving was nice, though the dive sites were chosen more on a safe side (almost guaranteed seeing the animals) even though that meant going to a site where whale sharks are being fed. Which is understandable, probably more divers like that more than risking not seeing them. But some of us are willing to take that risk in exchange for a high reward of seeing them in a natural environment.

Couldn’t recommend more
There are less than 10 liveaboards in Tubbataha and Aggressor II might just be the best one out there - the boat is new and generally has a great build with an efficient layout. The crew is the cherry on top. Dive guides, housekeeping, stewards, all of them are very kind, helpful, and joyful. They will make sure you absolutely put (near) 0 effort into every activity. There are pros and cons of every liveaboard but what matters is that 1. if you want to go to Tubbataha, a liveaboard is the only way to, 2. Aggressor II is the best liveaboard out of all Can’t really go wrong tbh. Go for it

Fantastic liveaboard
This was our best live aboard experience ever. The crew were particularly noteworthy, nothing was too much trouble. The weather was perfect and the diving fantastic. Always felt the dive guides were watching out for us and finding interesting creatures. 10/10

Amazing trip
I chose the boat based on the proposed itinerary as my first female solo dive trip and the Aggressor 2 did not disappoint. In terms of diving, Tubbataha delivered a great, varied experience (healthy reef with macro stuff and pelagics), which overall was well managed by our group guide, Juff. The boat staff was attentive on all fronts from start to the end; my standard shared cabin was spacious, confortable and kept clean at all time by the crew and the food was freshly prepared, varied and delicious. They catered well for special diets, allergies and even prepared some celebratory cakes for some of the occasions that arise. They provided us with a complementary reusable water bottle to help keep the waste level down, which was very handy as well as offering a USB key with some of the week pictures from the onboard photographer, which enabled me to take home some better photos than mine. Overall, It made me appreciate why the price of the trip was a little more expensive than other similar providers.

Exceptional crew and comfortable boat make for an unforgettable experience
I had a great trip on the Philippines Aggressor II in large part due to the crew who ensured every request was met and all efforts were made to make the guests feel at home. Despite the initially planned Cruise Director leaving after the welcome briefing and not coming back even though it was announced, the Cruise Director "in Training" (Moustafa) did a fantastic job accommodating special requests, guiding, planning the route around weather conditions and taking time to interact with everyone. My Dive Guide (Tisoy) is a local with plenty of experience in finding even the smallest critters on the reef and adapting each dive to the group preferences and speed on the spot depending on currents and minimising underwater contact with other dive groups. The other crew on board was always friendly, very helpful with everything from gear to fish ID and a seamless overall experience. One other mention is the comfort of the boat. The rooms offer plenty of storage and privacy, the mutual areas are spacious and well designed and the stabilisers on the boat reduce the movement to a minimum. I would be very happy to go again with Mustafa and his crew.

Beautiful boat and great diving
From enbarkment to disembarkment, the crew took great care of us! Carried the heavy things and helped us with everything they could. After some dives, we would get juice or a smoothie and some fresh fruit! In December the water was a lovely 29C! We saw thresher sharks! Everything was well organized, dives were on time and staff communicated any changes to us promptly.

Fantastic Tubbataha
This was a great liveaboard - crew is amazing, the boat is fantastic (brand new) and everything worked really well. The hot towels on the dinghy after the dives - that's one way to spoil divers! Dive sites are really great so this is highly recommended for any diver!
