Agreed, I tend to dive conservative, I rather enjoy what I am doing rather than pushing some limit.

Richesb:Start by learning what it is. Then monitor your dive plan accordingly. You can be "narced" at any depth.
Diving Nitrox is not a solution for the "other issues".
Usually the problem occurs in repetitive diving with a poor dive plan.
battles2a5:IMO, you should not plan a dive to avoid narcosis. You should be aware that narcosis can be a factor in the deeper depths of recreational diving. You learn to deal with it
. But narcosis is certainly not a sign of a bad dive plan. YMMV
cancun mark:... my expreience, narcosis does not affect you ability to make good decisions or interpret information correctly, it just effects the speed at which you can do it. ...
Paco II:Not sure if I can agree with that. Last week an experienced friend got narced on a 100' dive. It didn't affect the speed at which she did things, it affected her ability to dive safely. She 'forgot' to keep monitoring her air supply, and when she finally did, she was at 200psi, at 100 feet. She did a controled ascent with no safety stop and was put on pure oxygen. Thankfully she is ok. But to say it simply affects the speed at which you do things, and that you need to remember to double check your guages, seems like a dangerous message to give.
michaelc:you miss understood what he ws saying, it slows your mental speed, so you pick up the computer as you allways do, then read it as you allways do, but the brain may not take in all the info. The big factor is to slow down, think thru what your doing.
Paco II:Not sure if you understood my posting. In the case of my friend, she didn't pick up her computer (until much too late). That was how being narced affected her.
