Dive plan was to go to 115fsw to a specific spot at LJ Shores. Started getting narced at ~90fsw, which is unusual for me, but it wasn't too bad.
By 100fsw, I was out of my gourd. I've been this deep many times before, but this time was different. My internal monologue:
"Wow, I'm pretty narced. Maybe I should signal to buddy that I need to ascend a bit. Well, let's look at the gagues. Um, wow, it's a bit hard to read 'cause my head is loopy! Um . . . plenty of air, and I'm not stressed or anything, breathing rate is ok ... um ... if I'm even having this conversation with myself, I'm too narced to continue."
So I gave my buddy the "I'm narced" signal (point at my head and swirl my finger), and we ascended to a different spot. No big deal, my head cleared, and it was a nice dive anyway.
Never had to do that before, but in hindsight it was absolutely the proper thing to do. How narced do you get before calling a dive? I don't mind getting buzzed, but this time was punch-drunk-nutty.
