| As Mal said really but...
Narcosis is not a feeling, you ARE narked you just don't know it yet.
Now there is also a mistaken belief that work up dives and experience can get rid of narcosis. Well in the same way that a drunk can learn how to manipulate their car properly and with practice they can probably get better at it, a diver can learn how to dive while narked. However the drunk still can't stop the car when someone steps out of front of him, just as the diver will have problems dealing with an unexpected problem.
One of my friends is currently running a narcosis study at a chamber, and it's showing some quite interesting results about risk taking. Can't wait to see the paper. |
