Gratuity
- Tip your instructors and guides personally, as they do not share in anything given to the boat crew. If you feel your instructor did an excellent job, it is suggested that you tip 18-25% of your course/trip fee
- Tip the boat crew at least $10 per tank. Generally there will be a tip jar on the boat. The crew splits the tips at the end of the day
- Remember that tips are never expected but always appreciated. No cash? No problem! Most Instructors/Dive Masters have Cashapp, Venmo or Zelle accounts
