What must the supervisor do if conditions become unsafe?

Explanation:
If conditions become unsafe, stop the dive immediately. This puts a hard brake on any ongoing risk, allowing the team to bring divers to the surface safely, secure gear, and reassess the situation before proceeding. It also ensures everyone is accounted for and the environment is checked for hazards such as stronger currents, poor visibility, or equipment problems. Pausing without a full stop risks the hazard worsening; reassigning tasks and resuming doesn’t eliminate the danger, and notifying the client while continuing with caution still treats the risk as acceptable. The necessary action is to halt the dive now and reassess before moving forward.
