As a commie diver and if doing regular deep dives do you eventually stop being affected by narcosis. To myself, I compare it to drinking. Someone that rarely drinks gets drunk sooner then an alchie who is at it every day. And how do you work when your narked out your nut? |
from a sport diving point of view i would say you probably handle it better if you dive deep regularly, i dived to 45m on a regular basis before becoming a commie and was none the worse for wear for doing it.
on a dry dive to 50m with other non divers, well lets just say it looked like they had just been through a session down the pub while i felt like i had to run them all home.
like BHA says, deep commie diving is not something your going to do too often inshore, my depest dive since quallifiying is about 12m and my longest dive is 3 hours.
not sure about off-shore depths, probably quite a bit deeper when required but obviously less time at depth.
