The simple answer is the partial pressure of nitrogen being breathed. The deeper a diver goes, the greater the partial pressure of nitrogen in the air being breathed due to the increased pressure from being deeper. There is also a debate as to whether oxygen contributes to narcosis. But for a more indepth answer ... I don't think anyone really knows why it happens and last I knew there were different theories out there. Perhaps some medical people can jump in here some.
It doesn't. Nitrogen narcosis is a nitrogen toxicity that happens only at depths of 100+ ft. Decompression Illness or "The Bends" is what happens when divers ascend too quickly.
Decompression sickness (the Bends)
Scuba diver's diseases include decompression sickness, pulmonary embolus or emboli, oxygen toxicity, nitrogen narcosis, and other afflictions associated with scuba diving, working under different pressures, at sea, or underwater.
The collective noun is a bubble of scuba divers.
I would say scuba diving. You can get the bends, or nitrogen narcosis. There is also the factor of running out oxygen during a dive.
Many people use a SCUBA suit for diving. Sport divers, police divers and some Navy recovery divers.

Free divers do but scuba divers do not need to. Scuba divers take their air with them and would have no need to hyperventilate.
