Subject: Re: Narcosis tollerance
I saw somewhere a reference to an article that basically states "building up"
doesn't really work. Even if you actually improve your sensory abilities your
motor skills and problem solving skills do not follow suit. I think maybe the
article was by Hamilton.

In any event, if you are going to something about narcosis, the easiest thing to
do is dive mix.
