Wakatobi, split between the resort and their liveaboard, the Pelagian.
I can recommend Wakatobi. I have not done the LOB. The resort is very good - great food, great lodging, really really nice dive boats and very good dive masters. You see a fair bit of macro and small to medium fish and great corals in the shallows. The people are wonderful, You see a fair number of turtles. But you do not see that much big stuff. Also, it has very, very good snorkeling. I got to tour the LOB. It is really good looking and it travels out farther so you get to see diving that you do not get at the resort,
