just some personal observations from some dives I've done somewhat recently, my understanding with being narced is kinda like being drunk
or feeling silly - now on a dive in June I was doing a shore dive to about 100 ffw and back, we followed the floor basically in a straightish line, it was cold and I was in a farmer john 7mm about 37f kind of cold,
made it to the 100' mark kicked around for a couple mins then we headed back. at about 90-75' I had two feelings 1) that if I closed my eyes i would fall asleep instantly
and 2) for less than 5 seconds kinda felt like my head was in a washing machine ( best way i could come up to describe it ) , once we got passed 75' I went back to feeling normal
and didn't really think on it much.
I was doing a wreck dive a couple days ago at about 84' deep inside the wreck, temp was again about 37f was wearing a semi dry and was feeling cold - this dive I was videoing the interior
with a full set up camera , tray with dual video lights - again it happened the washing machine effect felt like my head was swaying side to side - it happened in an area i could ascend a bit and it went away once above 70' - went back down and didn't happen again .
I have 57 dives in 10 months with about 20 being between 84' - 134' and of those they've all yet to be above 40f
anyone else ever have similar feeling ? I would call DAN but then I wouldn't get to chat with all of you
