when I got back into diving last year, I asked about tipping at a few local shops (local being jupiter and wpb) and was told that $10-15 to the in-water DM was pretty much standard. Some shops like the Scuba Club went as far to say that you don't need to tip the DM (the DM's are paid staff at Scuba Club). I generally tip $15 for a two tank dive and if the DM seems better than average, I tip $20 to the DM. On many boats, the DMs and deck hands will pool the tips and split them up. At Jupiter Dive Center, I almost always tip $20 since the DMs and deck hands I've had experience with are fantastic
Oh yeah, one last item: if I am on a really loaded up boat (say 20 or 24 divers) I usually go with $15, but if there are not many divers (so the DM won't be getting rich), I almost always go with $20.

Actually I'm more concerned with you referring to people as "retards" for tipping well. I'm sure if you were the DM busting your ass on the boat you'd be pretty o.k. with it.
Who said I wasn't talking about you Mr I get dive trips comp'd
