Scary or embarrassing moments

[SoCalDiveGirl]

One that comes to mind is when I was
at depth, oh maybe 130 and I enter a hole on a reef. This hole was almost 50
feet long. Another diver just enter before me. I was in maybe 15-20 feet,
when I felt the warm flush run through my body. I knew what that sign meant. I've had it before. It was narcosis.

Yup- thats always my first obvious sign of narcosis too... That oh-so-familiar, yet unwanted warm flush- I've experienced it twice (in about 325 dives)... Funny feeling to be in 53F water in a drysuit, and suddenly sweating.. Miserable feeling, but it's much better to feel hot than to experience any significant mental impairments...
