| I think build up dives do help with narcosis, be it psychological or physiological I don't know. If nothing else, we know that stress makes narcosis worse and if you're only making a 5m jump then your personal stress level is likely to be much lower than if you were making a 25m jump.
I do tend to 'stay built up' tho by continuing 50+ m dives throughout the winter. I book onto lots expecting to get a few and I've had some great deep dives off the South Coast in Nov and Dec!
Failing that I would take to the lakes once every 3-4 weeks through the winter to keep my skills and kit up to speed.
