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.

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..

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.

Amazing staff and excellent boat. Good dives
Excellent boat amenitiesVery attentive and friendly crewAs a downside, initially there were many dives scheduled on sandy bottoms, but since we had not been notified and people preferred to dive in corals, they changed the dive sites, so finally everything went very well and they immediately attended to our requests

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.

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.

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.
