Subject: FW: Narcosis test.
Date: Sun, 26 May 1996 09:45:51 -0300
There is a little test the you and your buddy can do.  Take an ordinary =
school combination lock, place the combination on the back, make sure =
you are able to open it above water.  Take the said lock down to 10' and =
time how long it takes to open and close it three times, then proceed to =
1 ATM. then to 2 ATM and so on.  Between your buddy fluffing up the =
timing and that blasted lock simply not working properly.<grin>   You =
should at least have a good laugh and a new respect for your =
incapacitation.   Take this one step further, have the person who is =
opening the lock guesstimate how long it took, of course while at depth. =
 Allow at least 2 mins. at your depth to allow the Narcosis to take hold =
before starting the test.

If someone trys this, please let me know the results.

Good luck,

PS  Lube up the lock first, and keep an eye on your depth.
