I was just hoping you were ot using Nitrous Oxide, I have a good friend that worked in a Diving ICU in Miami that was basically a hyperbaric chamber.
Straight air. Nitrogen makes up about 79% of the air, Oxygen about
20%. As you descend, the partial pressure of these elements increase. At 5 Atmospheres, or, 132 feet, you inhale 5 times the concentration of each element, per breath, that you normally would on the surface. That's 5 times the nitrogen per breath, and it's the nitrogen that makes you loopy. The deeper you go the more loopy you get. Of course if you don't like the paranoid feeling or you start spitting out your regulator, or offering it to passing fish, you can simply ascend a little and the feeling will immediately go away. No hangovers. The down side is that the oxygen element also increases and becomes toxic and potentially fatal the deeper you go. Now how does this relate to astronomy??? At a certain depth, based on the individuals biological makeup, before you pass out, you will see stars. ;)

These gases you guys inhale are they recreational? Sign me up.
That's the plan.

Don't worry because you will be sooo narked you wont even know how deep it is

Let's see, 8000 feet depth is roughly 243 Atmospheres. 1 breath of air at that deapth, is the same volume as 243 breaths on the surface... We're going to need more air!

Awesome! Where's the nearest Hyperbaric chamber?
Probably at Pearl Harbor but a dive to 8000 ft ( depth of the Alenuihaha Channel between Maui and Oahu) probably would negate the need for one Molokini Island is pretty good though and off the Hana Coast is good too
