It will be interesting to see the answer to this question. Also when I hit 5 knots my mask gets torn off and my drysuit is ripped from my body. So by the time I hit 8 knots I am naked as a jaybird and holding by breath as best I can with gallons of water being pumped into my lungs. Anybody have a solution to this problem as well?

Upon surfacing I got a reverse squeeze. I descended and tried to come up slower but my ear was still hurting and I could hear it gurgle. I was never able to get it to adjust and had to finally surface through the pain. Since then I have had some pain in my ear and a dulness in sound. If I try to clear my ear it gurgles and pops and hisses. I assume I either stretched or perforated my eardrum and the gurgling noise is fluid and mucus inside my middle ear. This has been 2 days and the pain is subsiding (exceot for when I got the bright idea of using alcohol to dry it out) but it still feels full and is making gargleing noises. I was supposed to dive this weekend is a week normally enough to allow this to heal or would I be pressing my luck. Any suggestions?
