Recently many airlines have been changing their schdules. At the moment we highly recommend the Garuda flight GA646 from Jakarta to Ambon. It leaves Jakarta at 0815 and arrives in Ambon at 1355, plenty of time to relax and get things setup at the resort before diving the next day. And for returning to Jakarta, Garuda GA647, leaves Ambon at 1530, so you can do all three dives the day before. Garuda also give 23kg extra baggage allowance for dive gear (make sure you tell them at the airport)

Transfers between the Resort and Ambon airport takes approximately 35 mins.
