Yes , that works , but it is better to buy at least the 2000 g bottles , or go to your medical gas supplie
and rent a bigger one !

Maybe, but these are far more versatile: you can make fizzy water with them and pump up your bike tires too!
 
A little bit of narcosis from nitrogen? That’s cool. The dark, nasty, creepy, paranoid nark and perceptual narrowing from CO2 when you need to work harder underwater? Definitely not nice. No you cannot get habituated. Yes you are impaired. Go dive a deeper wreck in low visibility with deep air and then trimix. Two totally different dives.
Offset that vicious hyperpnea ->leading into immediate CO2 retention and hypercapnia with concomitant high work-of-breathing physical exertion, by having a DPV/Scooter provide all your intermediate to long distance mobility. (Depending on how very deep you are in open water, then have it provide ALL your mobility).

I always have my “Chariot Ride to Nirvana”. . . :p
