I knew I was close, I was wrong when I said 32%, but 36% proves me even more correct. The old tail that you have a clearer head on nitrox is wrong, 02 is narcotic at depth IMHO. VBtech found that out on our first group dive. Now imagine what happens to your clear head diving a mix with a low 02 / high He and NO nitrogen, then introduce a high 02 (which I consider narcotic) and nitrogen (which we know for a fact is narcotic), now it does not matter if it is instantaneously or a minute or 2 for the effects to hit, YOUR HAMMERED.
