By regulation, solo diving is not allowed in Indonesia for recreational diving.

Similar with solo diving, if something happened then the dive center will get lot of trouble with the police. It happened in Bali; the owner have to visit police office many time and spent lot of money.

Messages2,687Reaction score940LocationVictoria BC Canada# of dives500 - 999That very well may be the case, but I have been solo diving on more than one house reef in Indonesia so the question is a reasonable one. I just didn't dive the house reef at Papua Paradise at all. It looked like a very nice shallow reef and those that did dive and snorkel it were happy.By regulation, solo diving is not allowed in Indonesia for recreational diving.

Do you have a reference for that? I’m not challenging your assertion. I once repeated someone else’s claim solo was outlawed at another destination, and that turned out to be untrue. If I mention it to others, I’d like a source I can point them at. Tried Googling to no avail.By regulation, solo diving is not allowed in Indonesia for recreational diving.
