Just did a few cheeky deco dives in the maldives and still here. My computer also gave me a 30 hour no fly time but flew after 24 hours and didn't die. REAL WORLD TESTING.
LOL, seriously.
And if you HAD died, would you be posting that fact?
Your "data" is useless. All it really tells us is a bit about your computer.
 
I don't start having signs of being Narc'd till 160' to 170'. I was just at 142' for 15 minutes yesterday on AIR... Mind clear and on the numbers.... Every person is definitely different... I know people that are Narc'd at 90'...

Do you also drive just as well after a few beers as you do stone cold sober?

I know you're just being mischievous as there is no way you could seriously think this. Well I hope so...

What's more critical is the debilitating narcosis that comes with hard physical exertion (kicking against a strong current for example) resulting in CO2 retention & poisoning -and it can actually occur at any depth- because of breathing a dense gas especially at deep depths like Air. You cannot exhale the Carbon Dioxide fast enough under exertion at depth to prevent the vicious CO2 rentention cycle leading into Hypercapnia.

The point is CO2 build-up that can induce stupor at 90' breathing Air under heavy physical activity, can also just as more seriously cause sudden unconsciouness with a greater risk of death at a deeper depth like 160'. . .
 
Guy's, We were diving Air for years before tri-mix... CO2 is a much bigger problem.. John Chatterton has a very good write up on it.. If I recall.. It's called diving with Steve Wonder... You think maybe we had a little bit of a clue on how to dive? Or you think we stood on the boat yelling "Yahoo" as we blindly jumped in...

I spent a week diving in Croatia (all dives had mandatory deco, but max depth was 40m). Flew 16 hours after my final dive. I'm still here to tell the tale.

Lucky there wasn't a pressurisation failure. I don't like trusting my life to luck.
