The sweet spot is Open Water (or equivalent) or Advanced Open Water (or equivalent) with ~40 logged dives. Expect a spectrum from unhurried reef meanders to livelier drifts, all paced so you settle in before the tempo picks up.

Generally speaking 5–6 divers per guide, tightened for night dives, giving photographers room while the group keeps its rhythm.—a pattern that works well on Indonesia routes out of Ambon Island.
