Too shallow to get narced?

[freeflowigb]

You should try a chamber dive to realise how narked you get.

I did one to just 40m/132ft and was off my face as we were all giggling like schoolgirls. Did a small test — add a few numbers, name a couple of rivers beginning with "m", etc. — and like everyone scored very badly and could hardly read my answers.

Eye opening.

Did not know that was a thing, sounds interesting

Reckless dude, please don't come to cave country or any of my favorite charters. No one cares if you die while diving, just don't shut a site/charter down for the rest of us.

I will come and die just to annoy you personally.

Seriously, what kind of a toxic bitter mindset that is?

It's toxic and bitter to not want sites I dive closed by people who can't function on a 95' dive? Personally, I hope you consider a different hobby. You seem to lack the mental fortitude to participate in this hobby safely.

The bitterness and toxicity is in the idea that you see a tragedy as an annoyance, and seem to be thinking that ”nobody cares” about someone dying. That is not true. Even orphans sometimes have somebody who may care about them dying. I mean, we all have different moral compass, but I must admit I’ve never heard anyone be that selfish about a hobby.

Mental fortitude and nitrogen narcosis are not related directly, first is psychology the second is biochemistry. It is like saying you are not sensitive to lidocaine because you grew up in a rough neighborhood. If I get narced at 95 feet after a bad night, it means just that I got narced. That is it. The rest is your desire to offend and be mean, coming from your bitter attitude.

Your tone was rough, and susceptibility to narcosis has nothing to do with metal fortitude.

However, OP should limit his diving to < 75ft in the future. Diving beyond this now that he knows would demonstrate a risk taking mindset that is dangerous with diving. The level of narcosis described even at 80ft is more than anyone should risk while diving.

like I said, I was exploring the limits, and checking if what I am getting is what I am thinking I am getting. To be honest, I prefer my diving clear, bright and 60 feet max, ideally 45. There I get most out of my air, and the prettiest shots.

It wouldn't be a tragedy in this circumstance, especially after reading this thread. It's a Darwin award.

The bitterness and toxicity is in the idea

I understand his mindset, even if you don't. There were two deaths in Eagles Nest, an incredibly challenging dive here in Florida. A man, who had no business being there, brought his non-certified stepson on a Christmas dive. They both perished and the people who cared for them tried to get Eagles Nest closed to diving. Too few take responsibility for their actions and often their loved ones have an inflated opinion of their skills. So when they die, they feel that the site must be undiveable. Consequently, a lot of divers resent those who take unnecessary risks and believe them to be selfish. You should not expect to post acts of unnecessary risks without being called out on it.

Not saying narcosis has to do with mental fortitude. Understanding his limits when he is losing spools, playing in the sand, hearing tribal drums shows he lacks the mental fortitude to manage his risk taking mindset.

Edit: You'll notice, I never said he lacks the mental fortitude to deal with narcosis.
