Nitrogen narcosis was a condition that occurs in divers while breathing compressed air. When divers traveled below depths of approximately one hundred feet, an increase in the partial pressure of nitrogen produced an altered mental state similar to alcohol intoxication. A similar phenomenon also affected crews while space walking. In 2369, Data mentioned that nitrogen narcosis for deep sea divers was similar to the temporal narcosis Picard experienced minutes before. (TNG: "Timescape" )
