The cost of an average dive depends on the amount of equipment you own yourself, the cost of travel to the location, the cost of boat rental and guides. Beware that flights to remote locations are often canceled without any prior warning and a weekend away diving may turn into a week before you can get back to Jakarta. Guides The quality of guides varies from location to location.
Local guides are often poorly.
This is where there is a definite advantage to join a group of highly experienced divers until you become one yourself. Rely on the advice of friends or seasoned divers in choosing a good guide for your dive.
