If planning a dive beforehand and then diving with the computer in gauge mode then 6m final stop would be fine but when using the computer to run the deco they  (Suunto) typically want you to stop at 5m. If you are deeper than 5m then every 1 minute of stops that the dive computer indicates actually takes longer than 1m.
