Kevster, thanks for taking time out to reply - seems that SB has helped me find the good decision. N. Sulawesi it is....Never been to Wakatobi, but been to N Sulawesi & Bali a few times,solo.
There are some very friendly resorts in Bunaken which are great for solo divers,its also very cheap , approx $30 for accom +food and about $25 per dive. Bangka is a bit more expensive.
I would recommend n.Sulawesi ( Bunaken, Bangka & Lembeh) are all close by and have excellent diving. Also the volcanos & highlands are worth a day or 2 to explore.
$1200 goes a long way in Indonesia so that saving is considerable.
