most dive professionals I've had contact with work like dogs for low wages. It really steams me when I hear stories about people failing to tip instructors or dive crews. These people are psending their time (and yes, it is "their" time, time they could just as easily spend at a more lucrative job) making sure your dive is safe and fun. They deserve to make a decent living.
And no, I am not a dive professional. I'm just a human being who appreciates dive professionals.
