Whatever Narcosis actually is, it seems to start as soon as one submerges and simply increases with depth, often noticeable around 100 ft+whatever. It's probly part of the euphoric feeling some of us enjoy and/or anxiety some feel. I've never felt much from it other than an increasingly nice buzz, albeit a subtle one.Oh and id also add anyone who claims they have never been narced is either lying or just hasn't realised. Its a gradual degradation of mental processes and often invisible to the person suffering.
Some similarities between Narcosis and the mental effects of alcohol I think. I used to drink too much, became experienced at handling actions to an extent under significant influence, false feelings of sobriety, etc - and while this history may make it easier for me to accept the feelings of Narcosis, it may also make me less likely to accept the dangers.You're probably that guy that says, "I'm not drunk, give me my keys." Got news for you, it happens to everyone at depth. Much like alcohol, each person (mind & body) responds differently to it. Some may start to take their clothes and get wild, others may quiet and lazy. Either way your reaction time and judgment is impaired in some way, shape or form.
He's got so many more dives than I, I'd be hesitant to jump him. He's simply comfortable with the feelings and his dive experiences have helped with that comfort I'm sure.I would like to jump all over Diver 85 as well. Is there a signup sheet or waitlist? It's for a party of three.
Yep.I used to say I was fine to at least 130'. Then I started to take a camera with me and tried to calculate F-stops.
You get used to the Narc and become more effective or learn work arounds just like a drunk can learn to seem sober with a 6-pack or 1/2 pint in them.
You may never narc out---even @ 200......This is not a predictable thing, btw I have never narc'ed, been to 175 and over 100 MANY times.....Saying that, I may narc the next 20 times over 100, who knows..
