I recently finished up basic open water and i've been considering AOW. I've heard the "war stories" of nitrogen narcosis on the deep dive. Things like amnesia, a "stoned" feeling, paranoia, etc. I have complete confidence in my instructors. They are awesome! But freaking out, bolting for the surface from paranoia, or heck just not remembering the dive itself are not my ideas of fun. I guess my question is.....is there merit to this or are the "old salts" blowing bubbles up the rear of my wetsuit? I know narcosis HAS to be respected, but what's real? HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
