So as a new diver that has just completed the AOW course, I have only done a few deep dives with the supervision of an instructor or DM (deepest dive was to 111 ft, with two other dives around 100 feet and several around 80-90 feet).
I know that beyond 70 feet some begin experiencing the feeling of being Narc'd, and most do at 100+ feet. To be quite honest, I am not sure if I felt anything on my deep dives. I felt normal, in control, calm. I didn't feel any overwhelming euphoria nor did I do anything crazy and I have pretty good memory of the dive. My wife also told me the same thing, she didn't feel any different. We are both completely different in stature and size (she is short and petite while I am pretty tall and large).
The reason I am curious is because I want to be able to take control of a situation or prevent a situation from occurring if I do get Narc'd at a deep depth, but I am not sure if I am just lucky or if I am just oblivious? I know my AOW instructor was supposed to give us a task to do at that depth (like tying a knot) but unfortunately we never got a chance to do that activity on our dive. Just curious what other divers' experiences are...
