Hold on by your knees, but you will have other problems probably occur that
may be as unpleasant.

Subject: Re: Ear problems
Yes, whenever I scuba dive while attached to a ski boat I have the same
symptoms. 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?

Subject: Ear problems
I was doing a routine dive to about 55 ffw with about 8 knors of current.
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?
THom
