Nitrogen Narcosis
Preventing Nitrogen Narcosis
The best prevention against nitrogen narcosis is avoiding unnecessary depths. This is one reason why the maximum depth for recreational scuba diving is 130 feet.
Other factors that increase the effects of nitrogen narcosis include alcohol, fatigue, illness, medications, and anxiety. These factors do not cause narcosis by themselves, but when combined with pressurized nitrogen, can intensify the symptoms.
