[hijack]Bryan St.Germain:From an associate of mine who teaches advanced deco, rebreather, and the like, I got this:
Take a diver deep (130 is good) on heliox. No nitrogen buildup. Then hand the subject a reg on a bottle of air. After six or seven breaths the subject will feel the narc hit all at once. Very effective way to assess it, since it doesn't build up gradually and unnoticed.
Mind you, this requires special training . . .

I tried this just last Monday ... breathed off a buddy's 30/30 from 70 feet down to about 105 feet. Switched back over to my own backgas (EAN32) at 105.
I noticed the difference almost immediately ... :11:
