The problem with dive ops in Cozumel is that they spoil you, which I never fully appreciated until diving in other parts of the Carribean. My husband and I tip a total of $25 for a day of two tank dives when in Cozumel. In other locations where we have 18 + divers on a boat, you change your own tanks, and schlep all of your gear off the boat after each day $20 for both our two tank dives is my standard tip. Everyone has opinions on this topic. In my experience, Cozumel dive ops work incredibly hard and provide amazing service.
This year I will tip in pesos instead of dollars because I read somewhere that citizens will now be taxed on their tips. With pesos it should be easier for them to hide the tips?
scubafree:I have observed others tipping once at the end of their few days of diving and while it looks impressive to hand over hundred dollar bills I wonder if it is shared equally by all the divemasters who were on the boat for those few days as well as the captain. Anyone have any thoughts?
Wow lots of good info! So basically If i tip the crew $75-$80 for 5 days of diving then that should be ok.
