The coral sea diving sounds interesting - are there any liveaboards that take longer trips there, and stay in the more remote areas?
There are quite a few liveaboards out of Cairns and they do vary their schedules to some extent. I'd check with the particular liveaboard for when you want to go. Some of the other players are Mike Ball, Nimrod Explorer, Taka II, and a few others. Some boats do the coral sea others just do the GBR. The GBR is fine once you get away from Cairns but it's trashed right around Cairns and I wouldn't do any day trips. There are also a few liveaboards that do Milne Bay at different times of the year.
