(Re.: Nitrogen Narcosis)
"Subtle symptoms of this problem generally begin to appear at a depth of about
100 feet and progress rapidly beyond that depth when breathing compressed air.
However, there is a wide range of individual susceptibility and some divers,
particularly those experienced in deep operations with air, can often work as
deep as 200 feet without serious difficulty.  Several experienced cave divers
have worked at depths between 250-300 feet, and at least one has dived to more
than 450 feet on compressed air."
