Feel free to impress the other passengers who didn’t read this part with your knowledge. Tipping Etiquette for the Crew Gratuities are not included in any trip pricing. The crew works hard to make sure your trip is enjoyable and to ensure your safety, including doing many things you never see if they do their job well. The rule of thumb is just like a restaurant, 10% to 20% of the trip cost is appreciated. Obviously you can tip more or less depending on the service you received. For a local dive trip, the crew would receive in the range of $10-$20. Remember, your tip will be divided equally between the crew and captain. How much you tip is up to you. Please eep in mind that our crew makes majority of their living from your tips, just like a waiter or waitress. So if they go above and beyond, tip the crew well
