Sadly, I can confrim that. I am based in Cairns and have been out with every operator here...day boats will only dissapoint. I would happily recommend any of the above mentioned liveaboards though.

Yeah it is awesome here. 84 degree water, beautiful reefs and a macro heaven. Lots of kewl nudis and flatworms as well as crocodile fish, leaf scorpion, stonefish, cuttlefish, octopus, pipefish, frogfish, and much much more. The viz could be better but hey you can't have everything can you?

Well I've seen a few pygmy's. Two different kinds so far. Not only is 84 but one site we dove this morning Pockets my computer registered 86!!!

PS: Scott you wouldn't freeze if you wore a decent wetsuit.

I only travel to places that have 82 degree or warmer waters.....I did buy a .05 fullsuit for when places like Wakytobi that have unseasonably cold water...that should keep me toasty!....but if you say Lembeh is warm when you are there....That fullsuit is staying home!

I see you got the hang of the Wakatobi internet.
