If you book a 2 tank trip and you decide not to use your second tank...
I'm cheap, I tip $5 for a morning trip, $5 for an afternoon trip. I guess it's better than the people who don't tip at all.
I still think they should be payed by their employer, the employers are the ones that require them.
Good to see someone simply up and admit it. +1 for you.
Seriously.
That sounds like a great sentiment in theory, and lots of people seem to share it. However you sound a bit like my five-year old who thinks he should have ice cream for dinner. What you think should happen has no bearing on the reality of the situation. Further, I can never understand how people can ignore the obvious economic reality that if the "employer" paid the boat crew...your actual cost of a charter would increase by substantially more than a $10-$20 tip. So, someone as frugal as yourself should be careful what you ask for.
