you don’t like tipping dive professionals?
Not picking on dive professional per se, but any kind of tipping in New Zealand is very unusual. We believe that people should get paid a fair wage and not have to rely on tips. I noticed that the cost of a dive trip on a dive boat is quite a bit higher in New Zealand than it is in the USA where tipping is customary so it probably works out in the end.
