We started off Monday right by going down to the Hyperbaric Chamber and getting Narked. For those of you who don't know what that means, the proper name is Nitrogen Narcosis- when you get down to deep depths, the high pressure causes people to feel/act like they're drunk. I wasn't really convinced, but sure enough, they brought the pressure in the chamber down to a depth of 95 feet, and I definitely felt like there was a little something in my system. It was tons of fun to hear everyone's voice get higher from the air pressure/goof around together, especially because everything was slightly funnier than normal. Lots of laughing! Unfortunately, I didn't get any photos because my camera would've cracked under the pressure in the chamber.
I guess being Narked makes you tired, because I passed out after lunch and had a fantastic nap. My friend sneaked a picture of me being a bundle of blankets:
We also had a brutal three hour lecture on aspects of the hyperbaric chamber, dive tables, and dive computers. At some point my brain overloaded and I spaced out for a bit, but I was able to snap back and pull it together for the end of the lecture. It wasn't that the lecture wasn't interesting, it was just one of those days.
It's 9:36 and my brain's already shutting down, so I'm going to call it a day. Goodnight to all!
