I had a great time going to Tubbataha Reef on Stella Maris. The boat has a nice atmosphere. The cabins are spacious (deluxe), facilities modern. Food was good although a bit heavy on the meat side for my taste. The dive sites were excellent but strong current makes it difficult in places to look for small critters. Lots of reef sharks and we saw several mantas as well as a whale shark. Crew is really nice and helpful. Diving felt safe. I only missed a book on the reef fish.
