How did you get the name of Deep Diver?

Steve (ex SurD02 and He02 diver)

Hi SteveB,

Unfortunately, I have not yet "dived" into the realm of Trimix, HeO2,
Surface Decompression On Oxygen, or other exotic breathing gases or
decompression techniques. Although I'd like to learn some of those skills
one day.

I got the nickname from an instructor when I was getting my Divemaster
certification many years ago (I've since earned my Instructor rating). He
wanted to teach me the effects of nitrogen narcosis, but could never observe
any symptoms in me, even past the "recreational limit".

Of course, JohnM's reasoning holds some merit too... :P
