Have you ever heard of narcosis — sometimes called nitrogen narcosis? It’s a fascinating (and potentially dangerous) condition that can affect divers when they go too deep underwater.

Symptoms can include: 🤿 Euphoria or overconfidence 😵 Confusion or poor judgment 💬 Slurred speech or slow reactions ⚠️ In severe cases, loss of consciousness The best p

This causes nitrogen to become more soluble and have an anaesthetic effect on the brain. This is mostly noticeable below 30 meters through confusion, euphoria, drowsiness, impaired judgment and difficulty concentrating. It’s not noticeable in every diver but most tasks will be completed more slowly at depth. Divers call it getting ‘narced’. Have you fe
