I am always shocked and often embarassed when I see how many people give them nothing.
That figures....Yes, you are correct. My dive buddy does that sometimes. However, I have several good friends that are DM's and they confirm that there are LOTS of folks that tip nothing at all. (And it usually does seem like it is the people that are bragging about their second home, huge boat, blah blah blah.)
This is exactly what I do. It seems to work out well. I do tip in $US and am wondering if Pesos might be beter for tipping.That figures....
I do like to tip every day, not at the end of the trip - so the crew knows that I am not going to stiff them, and to prevent problems with crew changes. Get better service that way. If I can, I like to tip in plain view as an example to the others...
