So my question - does anyone have any tips or hints about maintaining a 5metre safety stop in open water, in current, with no line to ascend along?
A "safety stop" is actually a slightly confusing term. The only part that needs to stop is your vertical ascent. You can still drift or fin as far as you like.
You could easily start your dive, do the deepest part first, then slowly come up while drifting, and continue to drift @ 15' - 20', doing your "safety stop". In fact, if the shallow portion of the reef is nice, you could easily do the whole dive at your "safety stop".
