As I wrote in my previous comments, no way to have the answers to your questions now. At the moment people from the UK, Norway and Denmark are not allowed to enter Indonesia. Quarantine will probably extended from 10 to 14 days. Personally I would be happy if the governemt would restrict all travel within Indonesia until we know what Omicron will do to the more than 60% of our population which did not have 2 shots yet.

I would be happy too if I knew that I could forget about that trip, move on. The indecision is bad.
40 percent of people in my country will never be vaccinated by choice. Many countries will need mRNA boosters. This is going to take a long time. I am sorry for industries that rely on flow of people but that's not necessarily wise now. Or maybe for years.

At least Blue Manta would let you reschedule to the future trip.
So far, if you follow the Covid protocol religiously, your probability of contracting Covid-19 is low. I’ve been on 10 liveaboards & 1 dive resort during this pandemic (from December 2020 to today. I’m now on Rock Islands Aggressors. I was on Palau Aggressor II last week). SFSG. We got negative test at arrival in Koror & 5 days later after completed the quarantine on the boat. Fingers crossed for the last test on December 26, the day going home to US.
I would wait until April 2022 (2 months before the trip, when Blue Manta decides whether the trip is a go or not) and reschedule it to later date if the trip is NO GO.
I doubt if you can get any refund.
Good luck!

In Palau? They will test you once you are landed in Koror. If you’re tested negative, then they’ll give you a wristband to indicate that you are in 5-day quarantine stage. The other Covid protocols are same as in US, wearing mask when self distancing is not possible or indoors, wash your hands before touching things that are not yours, etc., while you are in town with the wristband, before boarding the boat. Once you are on the boat, away from the islanders, you are amongst yourself & the crews, you can relax the masking part. The crews are continuing wearing mask though. After 5 days in the liveaboard, the boat would sail back to the harbor and take you to the hospital for another Covid test. If you are still tested negative, then the nurse would cut off the wristband and then you are free to roam the island like the islanders.

They will be quarantined until they are tested negative. We have to be vaccinated to get there, so if we tested positive, it would not be seriously ill that would require hospitalization.
Aggressor has been in operation since September and has only 1 guest tested positive after the trip. The crews were quarantined too.

The odds of contracting Covid is low if you follow the protocol & are vaccinated. That’s the risk that I’m willing to take, including having travel insurance with Covid rider. This is the new normal of going on diving vacation. I hope things get better as Omicron seems to be weaker and becoming more dominant over Delta. I hope it’ll become like a flu.
