thinking to go Tioman to learn diving alone since timing with friend not ngam

is it normal to approach dive centre alone? I know the pricing in terms of accomodation won’t be that attractive, but I am willing to pay more

but if you are alone, would DM or instructor be your dive buddy?

It's fine to enquire as a solo student. They may have other OW courses scheduled at the same time and you may have the option to join one of them (if you don't want to go solo).

Mainstream OW courses don't really do much buddy skills besides pre-dive checks, surface towing, air share. All these can be done with the instructor. Sometimes a DM/DMT can stand in as a buddy but it's not required.

yeah what my friend told me that he did his AOW solo too, but he got 2-3 stranger classmates though

throughout the course if no buddy available, then instructor will be the buddy, eg air share will do with the instructor instead
