Opening Of Indonesia pushed to end of 2020?

No need to do that since we will have to show negative PCR swab test before being allowed boarding the boat (at least for my case).

Both mandatory, negative PCR plus 14 days self isolation upon arrival.

Dan has different info if he's able to board the lob upon arrival.

The LOB will be the place of isolation, I guess.

Or the complete opposite! Every individual showing up with a negative PCR from 3 days prior has had plenty of opportunity to have encountered live active virus before boarding. It's a bit of roulette.

This shows how many are ill informed about this regulation, both inside and outside of Indonesia. You will even have to sign a document upon arrival into the country that states you will do a 14 day self quarantine.
You can see it here: Angkasa Pura II

Or if you prefer:
11. Every foreign national entering Indonesia must have a Health Certificate in English stating the results of a negative PCR Covid-19 examination. The health certificate is valid for a maximum of 7 days from the issuance of the health facility from the country of origin, and is validated by the Porth Health Office doctor at the arrival port/airport/Country Land Border Crossing.

12. For foreigners who enter Indonesia carrying Health Certificate that proves Covid-19 negative results:

a. Additional health checks are carried out except for the Rapid Test or PCR.

b. If no diseaseas and/or risk factors are found in the health examination, Port Health Authority issues Health Clearance and Health Alert Card to the passenger.

c. May continue the trip to the area of origin by carrying travel permit issued by the local Covid-19 Handling Task Force, and always wearing face mask during the trip.

d. Carry out self-quarantine at his/her residence for 14 days, apply physical distancing, wear face mask and apply Healthy Clean Living Behavior (PHBS).

e. Health clearance is submitted to the representative of his/her country to be forwarded to the local health department (Dinas Kesehatan setempat) to perform monitoring during the quarantine period.

A special trick plays by this virus to fool us!!!

It's an overkill. I'm going to Cocos & Costa Rica doesn't require negative PCR, unless you go to Cocos, which is where I'm going. Cocos National Park requires me to get negative PCR within 7 days of boarding the boat, but without 2-week quarantine. Anyone traveled to Costa Rica under the new COVID regulations?

Ecuador is similar to Costa Rica, unless you are going to Galapagos, which requires you to get negative PCR within 4 days of boarding the boat without 2-week quarantine. Galapagos trip report - Nov. 2020

Mexico is similar, even going to Socorro, doesn't require a PCR test nor the 2-week quarantine. COVID-19 Information for U.S. Citizens in Mexico | U.S. Embassy & Consulates in Mexico

I suspect many other countries are similar to Costa Rica, Ecuador and Mexico, but I haven't check them as I have no interest of going there, yet.

 

[Centrals]

Different countries have difference requirement.

It's a simple outcome. That means my trips to Indonesia in 2021 and 2022 would be rescheduled until the regulation changed.
Sangalaki-Kakaban-Maratua 4-10 August, 2021 with 15% off
Raja Ampat with Blue Manta, 10-20 Feb, 2022, with 16% off group rate

I just go diving elsewhere, other than Indonesia.

Ok, but we are discussing Indonesian requirements. Your other post made it sound like you were going on a boat in Indonesia...
