PADI would allow 25m at 25 min. I wouldn't call BSAC88 conservative at all. if you use Vplanner you get 4 min deco at 6m after 25min at 25m. Computers are usually far more conservative on square profile dives, but deco often clears on a slow ascent. Multi level dives really show the advantages of computers over tables, calculating deco on the fly.
