I tried searching for the answer on scubaboard under tip, tips, tips liveaboard and tipping and only got $5-$10 per tank on regular 2 tank dive boats. My question is when you are on a 10 day liveaboard that is costing around $1,000 per day per couple with 3-5 dives per day, What is the reasonable amount to tip for normal service? I've seen on the liveaboard websites of various ships the amount of $50-$100 per day per couple or the amount you would tip in a restaurant for a meal of 10% to 20%. So if you were on a 10 day cruise costing $10,000 for a couple the range seems to be from the low of $50/day or $500 for a couple to $2,000 or $200 per day for a couple based on 20% of the trip cost. There also seems to be areas of the world where the divers do not tip at all. I'd appreciate any thoughts or direction to a thread that answers my question. Thank you in advance
