i would consider it necessary to do a safety stop after every dive ,, and i guess stop is not the right word as all it does is slow your ascent rate and allow you to off gas a bit more .
people get bent ALL the time diving within the dive tables , diving safely and doing EVERYTHING right , so adding a safety stop to every dive is a bare minim in my opinion.
i think if possible incorporating your safety stop into diving on the shallow part of the reef is a great idea , extended safety stops and Multi level diving is also a good habit to get into .
if im doing a square profile dive
( down the anchor rope , dive then back up )
i will spend my safety stop reviewing my photos , helps the time to pass quicker .
i also have a lead shot line at the back of my boat to a depth of 12m , i have colored cord at 9m , 6m and 4m so i can ascend up the shot line and feel by the line what depth im at , great if i have my hands full .
