I don't know any diver myself, who experiences euphoria. Symptoms are more
on the order of dizziness and discomfort with no iron clad rule as to
when. It seems that pre-stress increases the probablity and multi-day
diving reduces it, .... non scientific conclusion. There can also be a one
to two minute delay for narcosis to happen.~ Bottom line is, there is
still very little conclusive scientific information available re nitrogen
or oxygen narcosis.
