Stop - Think - Act...
That's a quite simple threesome that we teach even in the NAUI OW I
course. The real danger comes along when one omits the middle section
(Think)...

Well, climbing that mountain certainly is physiological too as Gerrit
pointed out quite nicely in his post so I won't discuss that here.
Narcosis may be physiological, however, different people suffer from
narcosis at different levels, and, as has been discussed several
times, diving to successively greater depths, one builds up either an
immunity to narcosis, or, one learns how to deal with it such that it
does not affects ones decision making process (possibly both).
I have done dives on air as deep as 254' with no appreciable narcosis.
On such dives, I stay very focused on the task at hand, of which there
are normally 3.
#1) Keep track of depth
#2) Keep track of buddy
#3) Keep the video pointing at something interesting (or whatever
the task at hand happens to be).
