I've been diving for a couple of years after getting hooked on a Discovery Dive.
My H took the dive, too, but we went down before he had equalized. He didn't want to get behind, so he just toughed it out.
Of course his ears really bothered him and he's still having problems equalizing in planes, etc. He refuses to try again. I went ahead and got my C card but now I have to choose between not diving, or leaving him behind and taking my luck with some yahoo. Believe me, I've had some real winners, er, losers.
I know it's much better when partners can enjoy recreational activities together. We spend several weeks each year at places with incredible diving. I've told him I'll give up diving if he can't be involved, but I can hardly bear that thought.
