Agree with the above two posts.
Expidition Fleet had a positive write up in Scuba Diver mag last fall.
I went on a liveaboard with the Expedition fleet to the tubataha reef on the Borneo explorer. The ship was cramped, no good outside deck, staff new, and the food awful. The divesite was great though and you may want to avoid the cheaper "transition trip" as the ocean can be very rough at this time. I think the expedition fleet almost has a monopoly on tubataha. I don't want to diss the entire fleet but this was my experience with that one ship and i have to be honest.
If you want to see whalesharks and lots of them go to Southern Leyte. We saw six in one morning.. i kid you not!
Have fun.. Russ
Without checking your previous posts/profile, I don't know how experienced you are so it can be difficult to advise which liveaboards would be the best for you.
Please check out the following website which has some useful links http://www.starfish.ch/dive/info/Palawan-info.html
As a footnote; I personally do not like Scubaworld. I think that their liveaboards cater for the masses and you can have a bigger chance get bland diving from them. I know this beacause I and others I know have dived with them - once!! (never again).
Better to take a smaller liveaboard with experienced divers (if you are very experienced) to get the best.
That said, Tubbataha is simply stunning and the mecca for divers.
Just take my advice and do some checking before you book.
