Narcosis

[LKunze]

I think it would be tough to determine because narcosis does not affect everyone to the same degree. I can say for me personally I might feel real narced on one dive and not at all on another dive even when they are to similar depths. I have felt narced on dives using air and nitrox. It's kind of a crapshoot. For instance last week at Wazee the first dive I did Friday was down to the crystal ball which was 150 feet. I felt pretty dang narced on that dive. On Saturday I did a dive to 143 feet and didn't feel narced at all really. It really can vary. I dove the cystal ball again Sunday and didn't feel narced really at all on that dive either. I also have felt narced on dives to 90 feet on nitrox. Now obviously you are impaired whether you feel narced or not but it can really vary from person to person, day to day or dive to dive from my experience and I haven't noticed any difference or pattern that suggests there is any difference between air and nitrox.
