Curious if anyone else has increased their tip amount? If so what are you tipping?
And I agree, $20 is for exceptional service which my current def delivers vs my old ops lol!
10% to the divemaster
Between 15-20% of the total cost of the trip(s). I round it off to whatever currency I have hence it's somewhere between 15 and 20%.
This post isn't that unusual but I'm wondering just how our tips get shared. We all suspect the DM & boat captain / crew get a share but maybe it gets shared by all the staff who help get us diving. After all, many ops look after our gear between trips, get the tanks filled etc, so hopefully the better dive ops spread it out right across the crew.
Of the 4 shops that we've dove with, it's always been 1/2 DM, 1/2 Captain.

This same old thread comes up every year or so, and it nearly always turns into oneupsmanship over who tips the most, who is being stingy, etc. The amount someone tips should be, IMO, a personal issue between tipper and tippee.Curious as to why you would bother to post this?

Those you don't see tipping one day may be tipping at a later time.
Thanks for all the replies. And I agree, $20 is for exceptional service which my current def delivers vs my old ops lol!
