Most of the liveaboards in Asia offer 3 dives per day and I want a boat that has a low cost per dive. Are there boats that offer unlimited dives per day or at least 4 or 5 dives per day?

I'm flexible on destination so anything in Asia is ok, but I'm thinking Raja Ampat, Komodo, or Palau.
 
The Bilikiki offers 5 dives a day. I think only 2 people missed 2 dives in the entire 10 day cruise. I got 2 4 dive days, most were 3.

Mermaid liveaboards offer 4 dives per day. Dives are 75 minute dives instead of most places 60 minute dives. Also and if the boat is not moving to a new anchorage that 75 minutes can be stretched to sometimes 85 minute dive. They dive as 3 groups with 2 inflatables and if you are group 1 or 2 you can join group 3 the lazy group if you have the air left. Night dive are 60 minutes as you don't want to be late for dinner.
 
I've worked for and dived a lot with Siren Fleet and they offer 4 dives per day - 3 day and 1 night with dive times not limited to 60 minutes. I've managed a few 80/90 min dives and one 103 mins! They have boats in Komodo, Raja Ampat and Palau.

I think most liveaboards worldwide tend to offer at least 4 dives per day, except in the Maldives where 3 seems to be the norm with 1 or 2 night dives during a 7-night trip. I couldn't see myself wanting to do more than 4 if they are nice long ones as you need some time to eat and relax plus the crew have to fill tanks.
