I am someone who very much believes in tipping well the DM and captain, especially when they go above and beyond the call of duty. It makes sense since their wages are often low and they do not share in the profits of the business. But, what is the protocol for tipping when the DM and the captain of the boat are the owners of the dive operation and there are no other "employees" on board? Isn't tipping them just causing you to overpay the dive operation for the dives? What about the situation where the DM or the captain is the owner and the other is an employee?
