From Rolling Stone Raves: What Your Rock N Roll Favorites Favor by Anthony Bozza, Shawn Dahl, and Matt Pinfield

PUT ME IN COACH

"It's amazing to not be able to talk when you're scuba diving. It's totally outer space. Zero G's, your floating, you can fly. I've always been fascinated by fish, and in particular sharks. Any chance to see that is great. Plus, you get all puppety down there. You go down 60 or 70 feet and you start to get buzzed. It's a natural way to get high. It's the nitrogen. There's a little bit of nitrogen mixed in with your oxygen, and as you get deeper it gets compressed by pressure and seeps into your bloodstream. It's like going to the dentist and getting a little shot of gas. It's pretty good. If you go deep enough, its like getting drunk. You don't want to do that."
