Narcosis is a VERY slippery customer because, just like Anesthesia, it's mechanics are a total mystery. In both cases we do have a ball park figure for amount and effect though.

Yesterday, I completed a Deco Procedures course with some exceptional students. We polished off the course with a nice 20 minute drift dive at 45 meters and visited the good old Giftun Tunnle.
They did claim to feel effected by narcosis a bit but each had brief and unique descriptions about their symptoms as it seemed of lesser priority than the huge groupers we saw and the nice color of the cave walls.

I do suspect that reaction times under narcosis are slow as well.
