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)

Lunch at sea is always a lovely time.
