TBH I wouldn't recommend the only liveaboard the FP Master based on friends feedback and I don't think a liveaboard is the right choice for French Polynesia. Other than the master there is the Paul Gaugin which is a small cruise ship with diving available or the Arenui supply ship if you have lots of time. Flying between Rangiroa Papeete and Fakarava is your only real choice.
I dive with Rangiroa Plongee a French op who are CMAS but 6 passengers seems to get good reviews on Rangiroa (think they may be PADI) and I prefer to stay at the pensions along the pass with local families - pension Tiena and Marie is my choice.
On Fakarava dive spirit get very good wraps.
It seems if you're after a resort experience maybe moorea or bora bora may be a better option.
I'm with Cali Girl - Komodo and RA are different diving to me - similar but not the same.
Eco resorts with diving - try Fiji, Christmas Island (not sure how Eco) Timor, again of these I'd suggest only Fiji has the pool spa cocktails resort deal happening. Rainbow Reef and White Wall - have a look around there
