Some of us "open water" divers have been considering pushing some
depth limits.  We were going to dive with a PADI instuctor that we
know, using air, to a depth at which we were narc'd.

The intent was to expose us to nitrogen narcosis, in a controlled
manner, so that we would have a feel for "the animal".

After speaking to some other instuctor friends, and having them tell
me that they thought it was a stupid thing to do, I am now asking for
the opinions of the "tech gods".

How 'bout it?  We are all PADI DM's that have a lot of various dives
under our belts.  I would like to "experience" being narc'd.  Thumbs
up?  Thumbs down?  Precautions?

e-mail me directly with flames/smart ass/fun comments, share constructive
comments with the list?

P.S.  If the footer wastes too much of anyones bandwidth, lemme know, and
I'll do away with it.
