I understand what your saying .Our dives are normal depths of 15 to 40 metres but the last few was to test our own reactions to narcosis at a deeper depth should an incident ever occur where we would have to go deeper e.g a rescue.I`d like to know my self if i was able cope under these conditions to help my buddy if anything went wrong . You have to know your max depth you`d be fairly safe to go to should you be required to .As Divesherpa said "It's unbelievable how narced I was past 200 fsw. Let's just say I won't be going below about 165 on air ever again. "
As for what i put down "as getting used to it" , what i meant was if you only ever dive to 20 metres and maybe only once a month then you do a 40 metre dive the narcosis effect may spin you out where as doing diving every weekend and doing buildup dives to 40 metre would help your head stay clearer , I find it does anyway .
