Personally, I respect the rules of the op I'm diving with. If I have an issue with their rules I am free to dive somewhere else. Respecting the rules doesn't mean that certain rules don't irk me though. The rule that gets under my skin the most is insisting that I have a guide...planning a trip to the keys for next week one of my traveling companions was told that to dive with their operation we would need to pay $30 per person for a guide (all 6 of us) we chose to use someone else.
Someone asked another poster earlier if they had ever heard a stupid rule...not being allowed to dive doubles is a stupid rule. If a diver can't obey set time or no deco limits, don't let them dive again, but telling me I can't have redundancy is pretty lame.
I never knew that any govt checked dive computers for depth violations (Maldives), that is pretty interesting. What other kind of weird laws do y'all have?
