How many deep dives have you done and how many times have you experienced nitrogen narcosis?

[dtimu]

The link for the form: How many deep dives have you done and how many times have you experienced nitrogen narcosis? (if you have a problem with the form or feel uncomfortable answering, you can write your response as a comment below)

It's for my Math research paper. Please fill out if you feel comfortable.

What's your definition of deep dive? Do you include those with trimix?

What's your definition of experiencing narcosis? How do you take into consideration the fact that one common case is that, just like with alcohol, people are not aware that they are experimenting narcosis?

I think you mean experiencing not experimenting

@dtimu

Your questions are too vague IMHO, you need to define what you mean by deep and perhaps add other questions such as what gas do you breath at certain depths etc.

Additionally as @JMarc points out above, many people are not aware when they are narced.

How are these questions related to a math research paper?

Right. Another hint if you needed it that I'm a native speaker of French which has a single word where English use two.

And this is the third thread posted by this account asking for the same information.

Two questions in "the form".
1) How many deep dives
2) How many dives did you experience narcosis.


These questions are meaningless nonsense as both are "open" questions without you qualifying what you mean by the questions.


This is wasting the ScubaBoard community's time.

Wasting the OP's time too, unless his math research is about the collection of meaningless data.

 

[Centrals]

Impossible to answer because I did not write down narcosis in my log book except on rare cases eg. the first one that I was aware of or at shallow depth 25m.

I believe you're a student. As teacher, I'm always glad to help, and I've answered.

One or two suggestions though :

- explaining the aim of this data collection and of this paper might help to get more responses from SB members
- I fear the question about experiencing narcosis is vague : below 30m on air, there are already some impairments of the diver's abilities, but does he realise it ?... Most of the time, people don't feel narked, although any underwater simple test will reveal it.
