    Early June 2024 Liveaboard Tubbataha

    Hello, I am considering a liveaboard (Aggressor) in early June for Tubbataha. My first in Philipines. Any recommendations? Weather should be transitioning to rainy season but hopefully won't be too bad? Its a long way to go to get rained out. Any advice appreciated. thank you
