My only question on rebreathers (probably should go over there) but since using nitrox, trimix and other "voo doo gasses" eliminates narcosis, how does a someone diving a rebreather get affected? (truthfuly, I don't know too much about rebreather technology)

Thanks!

Voodoo gasses don't "eliminate" narcosis (Nitrox in particular doesn't) - they can reduce it though.
Part of the planning for using voodoo gas is to calculate your "narcotic depth" and mix to that.
It's the mix you breathe that counts, not the delivery system (rebreather or open circuit).

What? No one answered with, "all the way to the bottom?"

Or, "Do you want to actually return to the surface?"
