This was mentioned: "I am not a Captain".... BINGO!
We run across problems many times with people on our boats who think THEY know it all. Even new employees doubt some of the rules. What may seem senseless to them, we stress those rules are there for reasons. And eventually, they figure it out.
It irks me when people think they could do things better. Then do it! Go out, buy a dive operation and pay the insurance, pay your employees, and try to keep everyone safe. I'd like to see how long you stay in business if you ignore these senseless rules.
New divers, please listen to the Captain and dive masters. But, also, do not depend on them all the time. Remember your training, and get experience by diving more. There are good and bad out there, and you are responsible for yourself.
I'd like to ask one more question to the original poster - did you tip your crew? Just wondering.
