Planning a 10 day special trip to the Philippines next January on a Aggressor Adventures liveaboard. for some great wreck, reef, muck diving for 12 or more experienced divers. This extended itinerary combines the Philippines’ most iconic wreck and reef diving regions. In Coron, divers explore legendary World War II shipwrecks, historically fascinating sites now transformed into thriving artificial reefs. This itinerary also includes diving at Apo Reef Natural Park, the largest coral reef in the Philippines, located in Occidental Mindoro, which is also the world's second-largest contiguous coral reef system after Australia's Great Barrier Reef. This protected area features two large atoll-like reefs, a deep channel, and is a biodiversity hotspot with abundant corals and marine life, making it a premier dive destination and a potential UNESCO World Heritage Site. I have doved Apo Island in the past and it is simply fantastic.

In Batangas, diving around Verde Island delivers adrenaline-filled currents, large schools of fish, and impressive pelagic life. Verde Island is a volcanic island located in the Verde Island Passage and is known as the "Center of the Center of Marine Biodiversity" due to its incredibly rich coral reefs and marine life.

Guests will also visit Anilao, often called the birthplace of Philippine diving, famous for its rich marine biodiversity, vibrant coral reefs, and unparalleled opportunities for underwater macro photography.

Select itineraries may also visit protected areas near Malajon and Dimipac Islands, offering a rare opportunity to observe dugongs in their natural habitat. All diving is conducted from tenders.
