Tipping

[poolecw]

It's been ages since I took a charter trip . What a normal amount for tipping on a two tank trip out of PCB?

I usually tip $10 a tank.

I usually tip $10 a tank.

Even if you're paying $30/tank?

$10 a tank seems to be the norm in most of North America. I’ll throw them more though for exceptional service.

All depends if you are renting anything, as they have to clean it, or fill afterwards. For $60 bare fee of 2 dives, I give $15, as I don't rent anything, bring my own tanks, and setup my own gear. Surely, anyone who requires a camera handed to them, etc, might need to tip more. $20 ($10x2 tanks) for a $60 trip is a bit excessive. It is like 33% tip. $15 is like 25% tip, which is an excellent % for a tip in my book. The usual normal 15% is like $9.

I think $10 a tank for basic service is fair. Cameras, valet service, pick up should all up it. Now that we see it from the other side find that sometimes it is the know it all/been there type that can actually be the most demanding but somehow think they are totally self reliant. Then we have the people who listen to briefings, have their stuff (even if it is rental) where it should be and are a total pleasure. Guess which group takes care of the crew?

Such divers are easily forgotten in the waters. Often crews say that they never surfaced.
