Yes, you're on the right track.  however, you might want to try building
tolerance by breathing Argon.  The Argon has a narcotic effect similar to
Nitrous Oxide and in addition to building a tolerance to narcosis, since
Argon has no life support capability, you can also build a tolerance to deep
water blackouts!

Good Lord I hope you are kidding, I know I am!
