- Current published fun-dive rates are roughly IDR 650,000–850,000 per dive including equipment, with lower per-dive rates on larger packages.
- A seven-night land-based trip with accommodation, meals and 10–14 dives can fit below $2,000, but domestic flights, long transfers, remote-site fuel surcharges, nitrox and evacuation insurance may push the total into the $2,000–4,000 tier.
- Liveaboard itineraries cost more and are infrequent.
