Hi there.
So today I was doing my first wreck dive. I loved it immensely and I am going to pursue that further - found it much more exciting than observing reef fish.
One thing that took me by surprise today is the following. As I approached the bottom of the wreck which sits at around 80 feet I suddenly felt lightheaded and weird. There was no fear of depth, as I looked up and saw no surface, but my actions were uncoordinated and in retrospect a bit chaotic - I would approach the same window multiple times, then drop to the bottom and start digging in the sand. Then turn on and off my camera, lose my GoPro and forget to look for it, etc.
My breathing was also getting rapid and shallow, so once I hit 100 bar I signalled to the guide and we began to turn back.
Is it possible I could get narced that shallow? What was that in your opinion. I was perfectly normal as soon as I got to about 65 feet.
For what it’s worth I was diving on regular air.
Attaching some photos just to share my excitement
