I'm going to be starting my AOW next month. I have 52 dives logged (in less than a year so a good bit of recent diving!!) and have been over 100' many times without issues, my maximum being 123ft so I am already comfortable with the recreational depth limits. I have not consciously experienced narcosis and would like to experience and recognize the symptoms in a controlled environment (with the instructor) by going to 130'+ if possible... I hear that some people have sudden onset of narcosis after a particular depth. Is it reasonable to make such a request to an instructor as part of the AOW deep dive or is he going to look at me like I have a few screws loose in my head?
The AOW course material says maximum of 100ft which may be deep but doesn't present anything new for me to learn from or experience.
