im sure you guys can all figure out that diving under the influences of substances is a bad bad badddd idea right?

Now it's okay that scuba divers can't dive under the influence of substances... because these two guys in this video are a PRIME example of two very slighty narced fish nerds who are 'under the effect' of helium (they aren't high but it's making their voices sound like alvin and the chipmunks trying to talk through scuba rebreather mouthpieces)

(okay okay quick educational thing for context) To stay safe (er) when diving at depth (30 metres +) divers often have HELIUM in their tanks as well as NITROGEN and OXYGEN. This is because NITROGEN and OXYGEN at pressure can cause divers to experience NITROGEN NARCOSIS. Having HELIUM reduces this risk as it isn't affected by pressure. NITROGEN NARCOSIS makes you feel drunk and impears your judgement and coordination. it's also called the martini effect...

OKAY. enough of me yapping. Go watch this, I beg you. It's the funniest fucking thing EVER. (there is also a video on youtube of Dive Talk reacting to this video which is pretty funny if anyone wants to watch that one instead cos their reactions are priceless)

(they do not have tourettes - what they are referring to is the swearing-version of tourettes - you'll see why when you watch it)

sorry for the tags but i genuinely think this is hilarious um so go forth my mooties and watch it!! :3 (most of you are moots with @apocalyptic-endings <- that's me for clarification)

This poem is named after the Mount Everest of SCUBA diving, the Andrea Doria, which sank in 1956. The wreck lies in about 250 feet of water, which is well beyond the 130-foot limits of recreational SCUBA.

At this depth (and starting at around 100 feet), divers breathing normal air, (air that has the same percentage of oxygen and nitrogen as at the surface), experience nitrogen narcosis, exhibiting similar symptoms to those of being drunk. This is due to the higher pressure of the water and of the air that they are breathing.

Modern day deep-wreck divers use trimix or heliox, air mixes in which some or all of the nitrogen is replaced with helium. This prevents narcosis because at depth, the nitrogen (and oxygen, if divers go deep enough) becomes toxic.

If you want to read more about deep-wreck diving and narcosis, I highly recommend the book Shadow Divers by Robert Kurson.

Andrea Doria

Modified zejel poem

300 feet deep, I dive where cold, dark water never clears As I hear the jungle drums of my heart ringing in my ears Nitrogen working through my blood to amplify my fears

The edges of my known darken from the tunnel vision 300 feet deep where the world I know begins to fission My mind disconnecting from my body with little precision It all falls out of sync, flaking apart like a set of rusty gears

My brain shows me things that aren’t, it makes me euphoric I swim down through the porthole-portal into the historic 300 feet deep and I can’t tell the real from the metaphoric I don’t know if the salt in my eyes is from water or my tears

The ship’s corridors pull me in close, like the arms of a lover I adjust my buoyancy to prevent stirring the silt; here I hover My emotions distorted by the infinite abyss of what I could uncover 300 feet deep and dancing with narcosis as I explore the golden years

A visual transference of Life’s emotional menagerie has seemingly continued to embody their artistic nature. Flavors we’ve all grown familiar with—but, perhaps, are enjoyed both silently and subconsciously. Their subtle ferocity speaks within itself, for itself, and solely by itself.
