As far as I'm concerned, a hot tub is worthless on a dive boat. Even if you don't subscribe to the idea that vasodilation as a result of the warm water increases the risk of AGE immediately post dive, the benefits of the tub are suspect at best. As somebody already mentioned, it's usually already full of people who don't dive as often or as long as you do. It's just a waste of valuable deck space.
Nitrox, on the other hand -- that everyone can benfit from.
