Abstract	This report describes a pilot study aimed at identifying the cognitive and metacognitive effects of simulated depth. The population studied were one hundred and three SCUBA divers recruited from the general diving population. The primary aim was to determine if people can tell when their performance is being affected by nitrogen narcosis. A secondary aim was to investigate demographic factors which may have affected an individual's ability to identify a change in their performance. Content: Summary; Introduction; Materials and methods; Deviations from protocol; Results; Discussion; Conclusions; References; Appendices; Acknowledgement. This report and the work it describes were funded by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). Its contents, including any opinions and/or conclusions expressed, are those of the authors alone and do not necessarily reflect HSE policy.
