Rob,
Why is this unsafe? Assuming the following ascent pattern with a .6 SAC
50ft - 1min
40ft - 1min
30ft - 1min
20ft - 1min
10ft - 1min
You're looking at a 30ft avg depth for 5min. (30/33+1)*.6*5*2 = 11.45 cu ft to support 2 people to the surface. Even with 2xAL80s, 500psi covers rock bottom.
Richard/rjack answered it. It's not the number, it's the approach.

That's why I also suggested an Intro to Tech course. You can ask anyone who knows me or of me, I'm not a GUE/DIR diver. I'm pretty much the opposite - I do solo sidemount cave dives. But that doesn't mean the course doesn't have something to offer.
