I'm haven't been diving nearly as long as some, but it used to be considered that on a first dive you couldn't hurt yourself with a single steel 72, that is you can go as deep as you like, you don't have enough air to get into deco, so as a young dumb kid, I went pretty deep, basically bounce dives with only a couple of minutes bottom time. I have never been Narced, not so as I have noticed and that's what scares me because I know I was affected, just somehow or another I guess I can get stupid drunk before I notice?
I've considered trying a "light" tri-mix in one tank in JB for instance just to see if I could tell any difference between the two, anybody done that?
Maybe part of what I like about diving is a little narcosis? Seriously now, no kidding, but maybe a little narcosis is partly why some enjoy it and some don't? Not everybody is a happy drunk?
