Advanced Open Water Dives

Hey there

Did two dives with my AOW dive group today: Deep and Navigation. We went to 120ft. I was fine all day but have been acting a bit drunk from nitrogen narcosis after I got home. Nothing major just acing goofy and slow. The theory is that the nitro accumulating from diving dissolves lipids which coat your neurons making you act like an idiot until you begin synapsing normally. We had to do tests like 2+2 = 4 and write our names down at the bottom to be sure we weren't having any dangerous effects. No worries, just the leftover N :)

Drinking lots of water and sleeping it off - hangover-like, except for diving... back to studying this evening.

Photos and update on the way.

take care
