you're paying for a professional.....
Keep in mind that we are talking dive instructors here, and I absolutely don't want to say anything bad about any instructor (who posted here) but it's still largely a profession dominated by hobby-ists.

If you have done your IT, and you have done the miles, and you have got the experience and (sometimes lacking with Tech instructors) the teaching skills then yes, you are worth some money.
And $300 a day is maybe not even unfair. You do have "hidden" cost as your equipment, fees, insurance etc etc
But if you want to hold on to the $300 then all these amounts are good, based on 1 student. If and when I was to rock up with 3 co-students, would the price per person drop, or would the instructor be worth $1200 a day?
