"I'm at the chamber this weekend and fortunately we aren't busy ;-)"
It's my understanding that chamber operators learn to function quite well at 165' fsw while saving the life of victims, cpr, checking vitial signs amung other duties. Operators and divers need to build up a tolerance to narcosis, isn't this true. I do agree that some divers are impaired much more so than others. I think mentioned before the test that more done on three groups of divers. I ones that were told they would be narced serverly were but the ones that were told that they would feel narcosis but could function quite well through it did quite well.
