Next month, we will carry a story about how
Undercurrent subscribers tip on their dive travels. About
90 percent are Americans or Canadians, known worldwide
as the highest tippers, so we thought we would
begin by providing a European perspective.
Europeans consider tipping a private matter and like
to be discreet about it. When I asked a British underwater
photo-trip leader, Alex Tattersall of Underwater
Visions, who leads trips abroad, how much he suggested
his fellow passengers tip, he said he advised them "to
tip as much as they felt comfortable with. It is a private
matter."...
"Europeans may look rather stingy when
it comes to tipping, but we know that in less
developed countries, money goes much further than
it does for us."
