Is this really possible???  Can people really tell the
difference in the narcotic effect between 125 and 150' (on
air) ???

Since narcosis can be different from dive to dive I would think
it would be hard to establish a baseline to compare to.

This amazes me.  I'm not discounting it, just very very curious.  

I have noticed very little narcosis (virtually none) on air dives 
as deep as 254' (with many of them in the 200-220' range).

Granted, I spent very little time at this depth (less than 3 minutes 
for the 254' dive), but I was under 130 feet for approximately 15 
minutes  and didn't notice any narcosis the whole time.  This was 
in warm water (80-84 degrees F).
