Unfortunately in these places, even though I tell them everyday, some will still touch the valves AFTER I kit up until I tell them rudely/strongly not to.If you don’t want to participate in valet diving, just let the crew know and offer to go last so you don’t impede the other divers that don’t share your concerns. Then take all the time you want.Personally, I’ve never felt rushed diving with Reef Divers (LCBR, CBBR, et. al). All IMHO, YMMV.
You must dive in some unusual places. In my quarter century of diving all over the world, I do not believe I have seen a dive where almost no one does the safety stop. In fact, I have remarked recently about the dives I have seen in which people do safety stops where they are not remotely necessary.
