Aggressor Adventures has announced two new itineraries aboard the Philippines Aggressor, offering divers expanded opportunities to explore some of the country’s most celebrated wrecks, reefs and biodiversity hotspots.
The new routes, operating across late 2025 and early 2026, are designed to combine historic wreck diving with pristine coral reefs and high-energy reef systems, reflecting the Philippines’ reputation as one of the world’s most diverse diving destinations.
Coron itinerary
Running as a seven-night itinerary during November and December, the Coron route is aimed squarely at wreck-diving enthusiasts.
Coron is widely regarded as the Philippines’ premier wreck-diving destination, with multiple Second World War Japanese shipwrecks lying in accessible depths.
Many of the vessels are large and intact, with engine rooms, cargo holds and passageways now heavily encrusted in coral and home to dense marine life.
The itinerary also includes diving at Apo Reef Natural Park, the largest coral reef system in the Philippines. Known for its clear water, dramatic walls and expansive reef systems, Apo Reef offers the chance of encounters with large pelagic species alongside healthy hard and soft coral cover.
The combination makes the itinerary well-suited to divers looking to balance historic wrecks with remote, high-quality reef diving in a single trip.
Coron to Batangas itinerary
A longer, ten-night itinerary will operate in January and February, sailing between Coron and Batangas.
This extended route brings together several of the Philippines’ most iconic dive regions. After starting in Coron with its Second World War wrecks, the itinerary continues to Apo Reef before heading to Verde Island, often described as the ‘centre of the centre of marine biodiversity’ due to the sheer concentration of fish and coral species found in the area.
The voyage concludes in Anilao, long regarded as the birthplace of Philippine diving and internationally recognised as a macro photography hotspot, famed for its nudibranchs, crustaceans and other small reef life.
Aggressor Adventures says the itinerary is intended as a comprehensive overview of Philippine diving, combining wreck, reef, drift and macro experiences into a single voyage.
