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

Well worth a trip!
This was my first time on an Agressor liveaboard and I would highly recommend it. Absolute awesome service! From getting my white socks white again in the laundry to helping me take off my wetsuit off my shoulders to emptying the in room bins twice a day to fixing the leash on my flashlight. The Food: the food was amazing. Breakfast made to order after the first dive, dinner served at the dining table and snacks whenever you want. The Diving: safety first is always a good sign of a healthy dive operation. My dive guide Ranz was fantastic, diving at a good pace for our small group and pointing out all the sea creatures that I couldn’t find. We dove 4 times a day on most days. The Boat: comfortable, spacious, clean, big! Plenty of hot water as well as AC in the rooms. The Crew: the hospitality of the crew was off the charts! Especially Hanzel and Rizza. They made sure all my needs were met regardless if it was their responsibility or not. The cruise director Moustafa was very accommodating, respectful and highly knowledgeable.

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.

Exceptional crew, flawless organization, vegetarian friendly
Our trip to Tubbataha on the Philippines Aggressor II was fantastic. The boat is well-run, maintained, and feels highly organized and safe. Huge shoutout to the CD, staff, and dive guides: friendly, experienced, and made every dive seamless. As vegetarians, we were impressed by the chefs, who went above and beyond with varied meals. Highly recommend.

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.

excellent liveaboard!
The crew, food, and the boat itself were incredible. Service was very good, they went above and beyond. The boat was kept very clean the entire time. The food had a great variety and quality, you can tell it was made with passion. Regarding the diving, we didn't see any pelagics (manta rays, hammerhead sharks, etc.), but overall it was still good because the reefs were pristine and there was an abundance of reef species to see. There also weren't many other divers, so it felt like we had an incredible reef all to ourselves. Overall, the experience was excellent, I would just recommend diving later in the season for better chances of larger species. I would also recommend trying to book directly with Aggressor. I booked through LiveAboard.com and their response time was super slow (multiple days for simple questions).

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.

A rare experience in great comfort
Diving with the threshers is a special and fairly unique experience. Tubbataha is a special place and very beautiful. As this was a transition trip, we were also able to dive Cayagancillo, which is not on other itineraries.

- The boat and amenities were excellent.. Some of the 'smaller' things differentiate them from other luxury liveaboards, including having plentiful, good quality soap, shampoo and conditioner on the dive platform; having a different colour of tank for the cube leaders due easy identification, using different colour tank lights for the dive guides on night dives. Alcoholic drinks were also included (I wasn't drinking on this trip, but this is usually additional, so could make quite a big difference if drinking wine with dinner every day.. All of the staff were really personable and helpful. Nothing was a problem and solutions were quick and effective..
