This was a great experience diving.
I did my advanced open water certification. Living on board the boat was excellent. The marine life was fantastic. I really enjoyed the night dives and seeing different things.Apo Reef was so beautiful. I did a total of 15 dives. The last 2 days was spent on ship wrecks. The crew explained the history of the ships.

Argos is an excellent way to dive the wrecks of Coron and dive Apo Reef on a budget. Food is good , accomodation - bunk style is clean and what you expect for a what you pay. The wrecks are great and
Apo reef - mantas , clown fish , barracuda’s, butterfly fish , turtles , Trev ally , bat fish , banded sea snake & wrecks of Coron - excellent diving on a budget.

Diving Apo Reef On A Budget
This liveaboard is a good choice if you want to dive the Apo reef on a budget and you’re flexible on comfort and schedule. Dive guides were good; I rented the complete equipment which was overall well maintained. Issues with a broken BCD were solved quickly. We did 11 dives, last one on day 4 at 3pm around Coron. Back at Coron at 6pm. Food was good, the vegetarian option was typically white rice and one choice of vegetable.

Amazing crew from captain to helpers and fellow divers
The dives were catered for everyone, sharks, rays, crustacean, nudi etc but night dive, reef dive, wrecks etc. The crew of the boat, as well as us divers were so friendly. I also have a mention for Gerard, the owner. You can see from the top that that cruise is worth it. I vividly recommend it and hope that everyone will have the same luck that I had or even better

Perfect Liveaboard Trip
From the start of the liveaboard to the dives to the food, the liveaboard is a dream. The crew was super nice and always ready to help and provide information. The boat is simple but I personally found the liveaboard perfect for the Apo Reef. The food was very tasty and after every dive the chef conjured up something for the divers. All in all, I can recommend the liveaboard.

Food poisoning nightmare
Agos was my 3rd liveaboard experience and easily the worst. I’ve done a low budget liveaboard in Indonesia and a nicer one in Galapagos that were amazing experiences. But Agos was terrible . 8 out of 10 guests got food poisoning . I was one of them. From day 2 I was vomiting and going to the toilet many times a day. I barely ate for the next 3 or 4 days. This was the experience for 5 guests and 3 guests only had a bit of vomiting and diarrhea. I missed half the dives because I was too sick to dive. On one of the dives I did do, I vomited a few times under water…not fun . The hygiene on the boat was terrible., No soap or cleanser in the toilet . I am pretty sure the toilet was never cleaned. No cleanser on the food table. It was generally a dirty boat in the sleeping area. We are pretty sure it was the food as none of the crew got sick - they were eating different food to us. The owner of the boat did not apologize and kept on trying to blame the water , he even tried to blame the sea water? He eventually promised a refund of the missed dives but this never happened… he stopped responding and disappeared without giving anyone a refund. Fortunately Liveaboard were great and gave us some credits to compensate us. I would stay away from Agos, I only had 2 weeks in the Philippines and I was still a little sick when I got home to Australia. It ruined my whole holiday
