This happens to me most dives, I can go down as fast and as deep as I want, then the first ascent (even up ~10ft to swim over some coral) it happens. Severity is not dependent on debth. After that I can go up and down without problem.

Probably not Narcosis - it has happened at 20' and at 80'
Visibility is usually 60'-80' and the water is 85F-87F (I have complained that the water was cold, when it was 83F)

Phew, glad I'm not the only one - I get exactly the same - the first time I make a small ascent, a few seconds of spinning, then fine.

Still, I get medicals every year and there's never a problem there.
 
I wonder how much less this would happen if you guys got your physician to show you how to safely irrigate your ears before diving?
