    Ear equalization

    Ear equalization

    Like Pinny, I've also found that Swim-Ear stiff works incredibly well for drying out your ears after a dive. It has a certain % (Don't remember exactly) of alcohol that also helps prevent ear infections. And it's cheap to get at the local grocery store :) -Parrot

    greetings and salutations ...

    Welcome GM, It can get quite crazy around here with folks running around in leopard print and gold lemay wetsuits and such. But I wouldn't trade it for any other site on the net. -Parrot
