I know an instructor that takes his AOW students when he is training them to 120 fsw on there dive. This is done in a Quarry and the water temp at the bottom I have been told is really cold...that you can only stand it for 10 mins. I asked him about the students getting Narcosis and he said he hopes so. He believes that he would rather teach them in those conditions and them feeling Narcosis so that if it happens to them when they are diving they will know what it is and how to deal with it.
I found this a little scary and am not sure this is standard practice.
Some AOW students would be doing twice as much depth of what they have previously done in cold cold water and possibly narced. Would appreciate some feedback on this.
