Subject: Rapid ascents to altitude
Hi All,

driving back from some dive sites over here (Scotland) means driving  =20
through some mountain passes -- winter can be fun!!!

Anyway, I'm not talking major altitude changes, well within the ascent  =20
after diving limits=2E Despite the heights not being great, the change in =20=
=20
altitude can be very rapid, enough to feel it in your ears=2E

So my question is, is the speed of altitude change important even if the  =20
altitude itself is "safe"? If I can feel a rapid pressure change in my  =20
ears, is it doing anything to my tissues?

I've never seen the rate of change mentioned anywhere but I'd imagine it  =20
must play some part=2E

Cheers,

S
