You guys mentioned about tipping boats man or DM.
Just want to know, is this an unspoken culture/courtesy? Would like to understand more on this culture..
Thanks in advance.
For me, it's a yes too. I don't usually tip boatmen unless I find them really good. But I do usually tip the DM and/or dive center.
It's not mandatory to tip.

oo. hmm.
So when do you usually tip them, at the end of the trip ?
Also you mentioned 0-5%-10%, what does that mean? mind elaborating?
1 more thing, do you tip as a group or as individual, just curious.
many thanks.

At the end of the trip of course. If I go alone, I'll tip as an individual. If go as a group, will have a group tip and if anyone wanna tip the DM individually, are free to do so.
You could say the average is possibly 5-15% of the total dive bill.
