ekewaka:I think that is a good depth for AOW. Most AOW students have very little experience, and don't need to be going deeper than that.
:huh:
One of the deep dive objectives is to gain some experience with Nitrogen Narcosis in a supervised environment. You are timed on some basic task compared with how long it takes at the surface. On my recent AOW deep dive (about 92 ft) we did not notice any significant change - due no doubt to the totally trivial task we were given. I doubt that many divers would get a feel for Narcosis at 60-70 feet, which limits the usefulness of that sort of "deep" dive.
