When a DM motions that I should ascend and skip the safety stop. I will signal the DM or dive leader and take my decompression stop. Period. If they yell at me, so what!
I will not skip a safety stop unless I am rescuing another diver AND the I am not in decompression limits. If I have an unconscience diver and am required to take a decompression stop, I will send diver to the surface from my decompression stop and take my safety stop. Once my stop has been completed, I would recover the unconscience diver if the surface personel had not and resume any rescue procedures.
If the boat has an emergency recall, I will still take a safety stop! I am personally responsible for my own safety, not the dive guide or the boat. The boat already has an emergency, it does not need multiple emergencies.
