REAL LIFE ADVENTURES OF THE UNDERWATER STUNTMAN |
Scuba divers experience a simulated Rapture of the Deep
Scuba divers can experience troublesome effects while diving deeper. A condition known as nitrogen narcosis, or Rapture of the Deep, can cause them to feel lightheaded, act irrationally as if drunk.
With the help of some weights, wearing a one piece go-kart racing suit and Griffin full face motorcycle helmet, the Underwater Stuntman sits at the bottom of the swimming pool. Meanwhile, scuba divers check their depth gauge, which only reads 12 feet or so, rinse their masks, and wonder why they are experiencing such a powerful hallucination.
Maybe it's the chlorine!
