I did a series of deep air dives in the 70-85m range a few years ago. Considerable amnesia on surfacing from those dives, although nothing dramatic happened.

What's your best narc'd story? Anyone have any "oh s**t" stories primarily attributed to nitrogen narcosis?
One of my regular buddies lost one of his friends in a motorcycle accident. The day after his friends funeral he went out diving on a wreck sitting at about 30m. As he saw the wreck emerging out of the gloom, he looked over and saw the friend he had buried the day before standing on the deck of the wreck waving at him and smiling. Understandably he was quite put off by this so he ascended to a shallower depth and felt his head clear so decided to go back down and once again saw his friend standing on the deck of the wreck in the gloom smiling and slowly waving at him. Understandably he realised that he was suffering from a touch of narcosis and aborted the dive.
The first time I noticed I was narcing I was leading a dive as a divemaster in Mozambique. The dive was at about 24 meters.
Narced at 24m? I was under the impression it only really sets in 30m+. Well everyone's different I suppose.

This is the narced experience I get also....its exactly the same feeling as the dentist gas...last month I was doing some cenotes at 170 feet and I swore I was sitting in the dentist chair....when I finally realized I wasn't, I knew it was time to start going up....the last think I needed was to start opening my mouth real wide..Same feeling when I had gas at the dentist. Except I was a lot more uptight at the dentist.
