> That said, I have a question about narcosis. Does anybody out there have any > favorite tests or mind games to play at depth to check for the onset of > narcosis or to help oneself operate under it? my instructor told about something he read or heard: one buddy would show so many fingers and the other buddy would responed by showing the numbers of fingers shown to him plus one ie. first buddy shows two fingers the second buddy shows three finger as a test for narcosis personally, i haven't had a chance to try it ... cause i wear mitts and not gloves (showing fingers is kinda difficult) .... but my understanding is that narcosis has an element of task-loading stress ... so, i question how accurate any given test is, if the only stress is performing this test (and not finding the anchor and not checking your gauges and not sending up an emergency ascent line in dark murky water with a one knot current) .... are you _really_ determining your level of narcosis, with a simple test or mind game? peace howie motenko deadhead@cs*.um*.ed*
