Lets Talk About Nitrogen Narcosis: Getting Narked!

[@danshemer5890]

Great job, Nora!! That was really clear and helpful. And remind the smart-ass editor that your English is better than their Spanish!😝🤪 So sorry I didn't see you more on this last trip. I hope to make that up this summer. Take care. Danny

[@DeeferDivingCarriacou]

No worries Danny... As for the smart-ass editor picking up Nora's grammatical errors? Yeah, that was Nora too... Looking forward to seeing you again soon Dude....

Everyone gets narcosis, I don't care if they say they don't, they do. Until you dive on trimix and see what it is like to feel clear headed at over a 100ft/30 meters or deeper. You have narcosis, I can feel it at 80 or 90 feet. I can still dive and make decisions, but I can feel it.

You're right William, but yet we hear some many people say "I don't get narked", but theyre the same ones who will state they're OK to drive after a couple of beers likely too

Great video. Ive seen it many times on my buddies and other divers but I've yet to experience it(as far as I know) I've had many many dives over 100'

I too am someone who barely notices the subtle difference when diving deep. But then again, apart from being chatty, I usually feel fairly normal when I'm a little bit drunk too. Which is no bad thing! The key piece is knowing that your judgement and decision making is likely impaired as a result of narcosis even if you don't feel it.

Nora, you’re a legend! X

[@DeeferDivingCarriacou]

Gah, volume leveling! Turned up to hear Nora and had to rip out headphones during intro

[@DeeferDivingCarriacou]

Sorry about that! Yes, we'll try and fix that next issue
