For me personally, it has seemed while diving CCR that I have been feeling the narcosis at more shallow depths than I typically do on OC, and basically wondered if other divers felt the same way. But here again, as you well know, it comes and goes differently on different days! My suscpicion is that the perceived narcosis level increase on CCR for me is possibly more about task loading than actual narcosis increase?

I wonder if you may be getting narced shallower on CC than OC due to a bit of co2 getting passed the scrubber? For me one of the bigger factors in narcosis is co2 build up in my hat. If I start working hard on deep air I will get a bit of a buzz going till I crack the free flow. 150' with co2 build up feels deeper than 220' to me.
