You're right, I think they were trying to make me feel as if I didn't totally fall apart. It sure felt like panic to me.
I think it was a combo of CO2 build up and narcosis, each effect making the other worse, is my guess. It was awful. main thing for me was I was not getting enough air, as I were breath through a pinched snorkel, or straw.

....well, the dive op was putting a positive spin on your response....you did panic for a bit, but recovered before it got completely out of control......as to the cause of the panic, there's no way of 'us' to know if it was 100% due to CO2 buildup/N2 narcosis or 60% due to CO2 build up/N@ narcosis + 40% claustrophobia.....etc.
