I still contend that the traditional "cause and effect" roles of tipping are often backwards. Tipping well can often cause fantastic service *later*. If you find someone who gives you good service, tip them well and they will give you even better service in the future. If you're diving with the same operator over several days, tipping even $10 a tank after the first day can have remarkable results. Besides, they're working hard and deserve it if they're doing a good job.
Now that I've said that, I want to state for the record that I have always tipped well for good service and that I noticed the repeat-business benefits relatively recently. But, now that I've noticed it, it gives me an even bigger incentive to tip well.
