Mike,
The "soooooo strange" part of my post was ironic too You people are not strange !
What I meant iwas that sometimes it's hard to understand all of a foreign culture, especially humour.
French people have a very special humour, very different from the American one (and even more different from the UK one...)
But anyway, it's no big deal...

She's new here... she'll soon learn how wrong this statement truely is!
She'll catch on. I can't imagin tryng to do this is a second language.
Hey maybe we should all switch languages for a day and see what happens. we could have a drawing to see what language we get.

I still can't vote, because we are all narced at a much shallower depth than the most shallow depth listed.

Anyone got any ideas for a simple test to assess one's own state of mind? I've never felt any different at depth, but that doesn't mean anything. Did a timed test in AOW, but we weren't very deep (20m) and the fact that it was completely dark at that depth seemed impairing enough to account for the slight increase in the time taken to complete the task.

PS: Amanda, people from Singapore mostly dive up the east coast of peninsula Malaysia, at Aur, Tioman, Redang or the Perhentians (in order of closeness). Training dives quite often take place at the Singapore Southern Islands, but the vis there is rubbish (about 1m/3ft).

Hmm... I have never "felt" narced. The deepest I have ever been, I didn't subjectively feel any different than I do hovering near the surface.
This worries me as I have been quite deep on air and from all the reading I've done on it, I WAS narced (or darn well should have been).
I'm guessing we were just lucky to have a 'perfect' dive. RE: nothing went wrong where one or both of us would have needed to think/react quickly to prevent an accident.
For now, I've decided not to dive deep again till I get my cert in tri-mix. Hoping to have it by late this fall or so.

Amanda once bubbled...
Seriez-vous tous d'accord pour essayer ? Ca m'etonnerait
Hmm... I have absolutely no french skill, but playing with the translator on my Palm pilot [left over from a business trip to Lyon] i don't know what you said, but d'accord comes up as "Laughing Jackass"!!!
My interpretion is it's a query to see who's in favor of trying it out?
