The Philippines Aggressor delivers full-service liveaboard diving where the crew handles everything — gear setup, tank swaps, equipment cleaning — so you can focus entirely on the underwater experience. With 18 dedicated staff members attending to guests, the service level sets this vessel apart in Philippine waters. Part of the Aggressor Adventures fleet, the vessel runs seasonal routes to Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park and year-round Visayas itineraries covering top dive destinations. Guests consistently praise the attentive crew who remember preferences and go above and beyond — your gear hung on individual hangers after each dive, cleaned, and re-prepped with fresh tanks before the next descent.
Cabins aboard the Philippines Aggressor provide comfortable, climate-controlled accommodations with en-suite bathrooms. Social spaces include an indoor lounge and outdoor deck areas where guests gather between dives. The hot tub offers a relaxing spot after a day of diving.
The dining experience stands out — the galley team prepares Filipino and American cuisine with attention to presentation, from casual breakfast spreads to plated dinner service. Regular BBQ nights on deck create memorable evenings. Guests frequently mention the food quality rivals premium liveaboards elsewhere.
What truly distinguishes the Philippines Aggressor is the crew’s attention to detail. Gear handling is meticulous — equipment hung on individual hangers after each dive, thoroughly cleaned, and re-prepped with fresh tanks. Even senior divers receive extra assistance and consideration.

The Philippines Aggressor operates with the philosophy that divers should dive, not work. Multiple dive tenders (pongas) transfer guests to sites efficiently, minimizing surface intervals. Experienced divemasters lead detailed briefings and maintain small group sizes.
Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park expeditions run March through June, departing Puerto Princesa for 6-7 night trips. This UNESCO World Heritage Site offers untouched walls, dramatic drop-offs, and encounters with sharks, rays, and schooling pelagics in exceptional visibility.
Year-round Visayas itineraries cover the region’s top sites: Malapascua for early-morning thresher shark dives at Monad Shoal, Moalboal for the sardine run and vibrant reefs, and Dauin for muck diving and critter hunting. The diversity of sites suits both macro enthusiasts and pelagic seekers.
