The biggest think I found when working deeper was to get comforitable in the water. If you feel streased or unsure as to your capabilities then your too deep. Narcosis is something I can get used to, but thats not true for everyone. Also if your diving on wrecks that are deep you will soon become more task loaded than you were on training dives. This means that your capibilities are slighly less in real world dives that in training dives. With that said, nothing should stop you from diving to 130 or 140 feet. Going deeper than that would not be advisable without using Mix.

I know I used to do drills at 150 before I started using Mix, but you have to only go to where you feel good. I never stay anywhere I don't feel good, and will shallow up if the feeling is not good. Also pay special attention to your CCR it can tell you if something is wrong, and any change in the normal performance is an indication of problems. REMEMBER, one problem is easy to overcome, two is harder, and three four five >>> Death.

Dive Safe.
