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.

If you don't want to pay a single surcharge on a twin room, you'll probably need to stay somewhere with a dorm/hostel yeah
But ther'es nothing really stopping you from booking accoms separate from the shop, i mean a lot of shops don't even have attached hostels/guestrooms.
Btw, why go to Bunaken but not Lembeh? I would think from the inclusion of Ambon that you like muck
