When do you think virus-related disruptions will end?

[Centrals]

Make no prediction because the issue is far too complicated.
I am giving myself the best available protection ie. vaccine and general personal hygiene. What else can I do?
As for diving in Asia?
Just take a look at the vaccination record for the Big Four.
Whatever will be will be!!

Take good care.

I don't want to get my hopes up. It doesn't say whether or not a person can fly into Bali without having to stop in Jakarta.

And I'd need to know more about where I'd be spending the 8 days.

This point is very important.

Having done a 10 day quarantine at a hotel next to Heathrow airport last June I really don't want to repeat that experience again. If the quarnatine hotel had a house reef however, well perhaps that might ease the pain

That would definitely be a dream. No way they'll let that happen.

I could do 8 days at the Novotel at Ngurah Rai Intel without too much trouble, I think but Jakarta airport and whatever Indo is using for guarantine digs there, unh unh, nope.

Lol, that's just silly.

Backpacker's don't stay in the finer beach hotels in Nusa Dua and the finer travelers don't stay in hostels in Ubud nor do they keep small shops and restaurants open.

Yup and for my planned 3 week diving trip I would not be in Ubud or Nusa.

Probably pick up the idea from Bhutan. But they forgot Bhutan does not need tourists so they can be selective but Indonesia is just the opposite.
"Silly" is just too kind a word on such a stupid idea!!
Discrimination or prejudice.
Remind me of something I saw donkey's yrs ago on the land crossing from India to Nepal. When the Nepalese immigration asked a scruffy looking foreign tourist to change US$100.00 first!
