question about dekompression and narcosis

[par2005]

Could anyone please explain in detail, does this happen to freedivers also? And what exactly happens?

I know it's a common problem to scuba divers, but i read somewhere, that nolimits freedivers have those issues also..


Thank you very much.

There are also many other threads about narcosis and DCS when freediving, here on DB. There is just couple of them, but you will find many more if you type DCS, narcosis or taravana into the search box above:

Nitrogen Narcosis
Freediving DCS?
Taravana??
was this TARAVANA ? Was I wrong to get DRUNK?
Taravana or not?
