So you want to remember an acronym for your ascents. It can not be done, or maybe it can. Lets look to see what the 5 point ascent is:
1) Signal your buddy to go up
2) Check the time (this is the end of the dive)
3) Start your ascent to the surface
4) Rotate as you ascent
5) Swim up slowly not to exceed 60 ft/per minute.
S.T.A.R.S. would work for the acronym. Just like the descent acronym S.O.R.T.D.
