If I go to New England to dive do I have to buy a rubbermaid container?

Call them and ask them what they provide, base your decision on who to go with after you talk to them. Generally the problems I read about or have experienced have to do with an expectation that wasn't met. Most of the time communication prior to going out will avoid problems.

Haha no. But you'll find them easier than putting wet dive gear in the back of a car. Seriously, they're excellent for "dive bags"
Most people I know, run some cave line or bungees through the sides so they can clip off reels, spools, lights, and other accessories.
Most guys I meet around here use one of those - or something similar - for transporting diving gear in their car. I guess it's a cold water diver thing, regardless of which side of the Atlantic you're diving.you'll find them easier than putting wet dive gear in the back of a car.

Ive read tons of threads about tipping and I dont want to start a conservation about how much $$ to tip, but rather what do you expect as a standard/baseline service from the dive operator and crew on a dive boat? And at what point would you consider service over and above from the crew? Im a some-what new diver I trying to form an expectation of what I should receive from the crew as standard and or over-the-top service. And then Ill feel good about how Im tipping.
Thanks
