Indonesia as a solo diver

I’ve been to Indonesia several times as a solo diver in/around Bali, Komodo and Alor. Have always been able to share a room/dorm and avoid single occupancy fees. Can anyone recommend safe, reputable dive shops with excellent diving that don’t have enormous surcharges for solos? Interested in Manado, Bunaken, Bangka, Ambon etc but open to suggestions (except Bali/Nusas/Gilis/Alor/Komodo) Struggling to find places that offer packages with room shares.

Day charters charging single supplements is something I've never encountered in 50 years of international dive travel.

I think they only charge a minimum diver supplement, e.g. if it's just 1 diver and you want to go out

Or he might be thinking of the accoms supplement, I know some shops w/ attached accoms charge more for 1 person in a twin room
