Went on a couple of dives today on a tourist day boat. Very benign conditions, very easy dives. I had a minor equipment issue, discovered before the dive, but was fine diving with it in those conditions. Nil probs during the dive. I completed the safety stop and indicated to the DM that my computer has cleared the ss time. I'm just hovering nice and neutral, waiting for my buddy's computer to clear. The DM indicates to me that I can go up and then (this is the WTF bit) grabs my inflator hose to start releasing air for my ascent!
I took the inflator off him and tried to indicate by gestures (that didn't include the middle finger) that I was ok executing an ascent from the safety stop! With just under 100 dives I'm not a particularly experienced diver, but I can remember to release air on ascent if necessary!
Has anyone had that sort of thing happen? It struck me as mighty strange. The DM was a very nice guy otherwise and I didn't want to go off at him, so let it slide.
