Hi all,

I recently completed the IANTD Deep Air course and was interested by one
statement in the manual. Under the section on Nitrogen Narcosis, the last
point on the slide was that the effects could be ameliorated through the
use of depressant drugs! 

I looked up Edmonds' "Diving and sub-aquatic medicine" and it suggested that
depressants had no place in diving (which seems sensible!)

What is the current wisdom on this ? To see such a statement in a training
manual suprised me.

Should we now have a few shots of tequila before doing deep air dives ?!?! :-)

Cheers,

David.
