There is an article on one of the other lists
that tells the real story on inert gas narcosis,
written by David Doolitte. This completely refutes
what Tom Mount just put out. I suggest you persuade
Doolitte to put it on here. The half-baked 35 year
old study to which Tom refers has long since been
supplanted by hard fact.
Based on my college board scores, I should be
able to beat most people in math skills at 500 feet
on air, but it would not be my best. When my life is
on the line, I want my best. When my life is on the
line , I want my buddy's best, not what he "thinks" he
can "handle".
This is one of the reasons we only let certain
people cave dive at Wakulla. We have no helium analyzer,
and will not deal with the possiblity that someone
may think they are "good deep on air". The last guy
who argued narcosis depth with me will never dive the
cave.
Get over it , Tom, and everyone else - it ain't so.
