That's correct, but I'm talking about shallow situations like getting caught in fishing line or seaweed. Initial panic then a very calm feeling as you figure ways out of your predicament. Skin diving is probably a better example as you have no air reserve besides whats in your lungs. I've been stuck on something at 30 feet and you literally can have less then a minute to solve your problem. That is when I've experienced the very calm feeling.
Do you know the type of gas you were on? Air or Nitrox? Sometimes Nitrox, which reduces Nitrogen and increases Oxygen, increases the risk of Oxygen toxicity at shallower depths.

Just plain air. I edited and added a bit about nitrogen narcosis.

For me anyway, it was the closest I had to an outwardly experience. A long time after, as a young adult, I was hiking in the Peruvian amazon and came upon some villagers who had Ayahuasca. We had heard about it, as a medicinal plant used to purge your system but also takes you to a death like state as it's basically DMT.
We tried it that night, at their village/hut. That experience is the closest I've had to recreating it.
I read that DMT is produced by your brain in trace amounts but broken down by MAOs (they need oxygen to break down DMT).
So my theory (and maybe someone somewhere did a paper on it, and it's established) is that during when Oxygen gets low in your brain, MAOs cannot breakdown DMT allowing it to accumulate.
This is accelerated in cold water. In cold water, your heart rate surges, especially on initial shock, causing you to burn through your oxygen faster.
In warmer water, it might take longer to get to this state, and so the person would be in the panic period longer, not sure.
I have no problem with a dignified death or assisted suicide being made available to those who are infirm or suffering from some dreadful disease and wish to die. We keep people alive way too long in this country just so money can be made on yet one more MRI, CT scan, surgery, etc. It's unconscionable.
so how does it work?
Do you buy it and keep it at home,when the time comes,you just get inside ?
and who do you contact that you will soon be dead?
