i ran into the same fatigue nonsense until i got my geezer gas cert. Now the fatigue is a non-issue. I have gotten run-down in warm water spots, after doing 4-5 air dives per day for 5 to 8 or even 10 days in a row so i believe wholeheartedly in that "subclinical" DCS effect. Nonetheless, the post-dive fatigue seems to be much higher in cooler Calif waters then off the coast of Borneo.
Hey, its nice to go out on a Saturday and do 4 dives at Catalina, and then come home and finish laying a tile floor and sink installation, and then catch up on paperwork! In the old pre-nitrox days, i'd crash as soon as i got in the door and leave the rest of the stuff for Sunday afternoon!
