They are brave for posting their mistake. They can at least serve as a bad example.

If the diver really was experiencing nitrogen narcosis then the fact that they didn't think to reach for their back up is not that surprising. I have heard of people offering their primary regulator (and its air) to the fish they were swimming with at 120 feet.

"Advanced Divers" test themselves with simple math problems so they can detect when they are losing mental ability during deep dives. (If you can't calculate 3+4 it's time to decrease your depth.)
