Hi all!
So I have been diving for a few years now and only recently (last 5 dives or so) been having a problem equalizing in my right ear. I have tried everything to equalize, including, trying to on the surface and every meter down, taking my mask off to equalize, and not equalizing at all (off course this didn't work).
It feels as if there is a blockage, but i always dive fully healthy and never when i have a cold or flu. Nothing has worked so far and it is seriously impacting on my enjoyment of diving and my bottom time.
Also, during my last dive, the instructor took one of my weights off me, which helped my buoyancy and air usage. Now that i have been told to use only 2 weights i am worried about not being able to sink as i even had problems getting down with three weights. Any comments?
The equipment i use is: Oceanic Cruz BCD, Oceanic Regs, Probe 5mm Wetsuit and a U.S Divers Mask.
Any help, suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated
Happy Diving
