Hi It'sNotLupus.

Given the facts that initial onset of the very first signs/symptoms of any sort was at least 4 days post-dive, a month later dizziness now results from changes in barometric pressure and the condition may have worsened over the interim, a diagnosis of DCI can almost certainly be ruled out.

As TSandM seems to suggest, a proper ENT evaluation probably has not yet been conducted. At a minimum, one would want to consider inner ear conditons such as Ménière's disease, perilymphatic fistula and even some types of infectious processes.

You well may wish to seek a second ENT opinion.

Regards,
