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.

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.

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.

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

Amazing
That was so amazing that I want to join next liveaboad. Mustafa was so kind to manage our tour. He changed some plans a little to see the hammerheads and whale sharks. My dive master Varry is so fun person who could lift the mood. I enjoyed all dives with him. I want to appreciate all clues who created a comfortable and enjoyable environment. Thank you.

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).

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.

Fantastic dive trip
This was a transition trip between Visaya and Tubbataha so great diversity in sites and marine life. Thresher sharks, whale sharks, Pygmy seahorses, we got it all.
