It was only 20% Helium which is nothing in my book.

Having twice suffered narcosis induced panic symptoms (both in blue water), I personally would have used more. Then again I have done daft things and gone that deep on air so i cant criticize from any moral high ground. I just accept the possibility when i am not using any / enough.

I don't consider my self prone to panic as i have had a few poo fan interface situations where I have been fine, bordering on positively relaxed. Narcosis is like an acid trip. If your in a good mood its great if your in a bad mood it can be terrifying.
