Just curious, what does exy mean? I'm assuming GBR is great barrier reef?
Expensive, I'd guess 
I'd suggest that you find a trip that goes as far out as possible - the diving, from the one liveaboard I've done there, was considerably better and with far fewer people/boats around. The Coral Sea is what it's listed as on the itineraries usually.

Hi dewalt625,
I got back from Tusa dive's "Spirit of Freedom" (link) this week. I took the 4 day Coral Sea trip which mainly was diving on Osprey Reef. The boat itself was very well equipped and staffed with a great crew. The chef meals were great restaurant-class meals topped off with a glass of wine every night. The crew do everything, you just eat, dive, eat, dive, eat, dive, eat, dive, sleep and repeat.
Fellow passengers were Aussies (including myself), North Amercians, French, Germans, Scottish, and Japanese.
I mainly did my own liveaboard research on Scubaboard. From what I've gathered both Mike Ball and Spirit of Freedom are termed "luxury liveaboards".

Taka Dive do trips to the Cod Hole & Coral Sea. They are a little bit cheaper than other companies because you go up and back again by boat (no flight). I live in Cairns and have dived with them as well as other companies, and found them to be very good. The boat is fairly new, the dive deck is really well set up and I would say that the diving is amongst the best in the world (I have dived the Red Sea as well as Pacific Ocean). We did a shark feed at Osprey Reef - fantastic!
