Hello SCUBA community. I have a huge favor to ask. My son is going thru Navy Seal training in Coronado, CA.
Yesterday the students were put into a pressure chamber that simulates a 60 foot dive. My son could NOT clear his ears and had to tap out. He gets one more chance on Monday. Failure is not an option as he will be dropped from the course.
He has successfully completed HELL WEEK and is well on his way to becoming US Navy SEAL. We must overcome this obstacle!
What can be done to clear his ears despite the obvious gum chewing, holding nose and blowing, etc....? I have read this is a common challenge for divers and wanted to reach out to get feedback from the strongest divers in the nation. I need to provide my son some help!
Any suggestions are GREATLY appreciated. Thank you! Please help if you can! Thank you in advance!
