I just came home from holiday in Mauritius where I did 7 dives. I am an OWD (did 6 dives before) and have had ear problems since day 1.

My tips:

  • as soon as your head goes down, equalise
  • equalise all the was through, every few seconds
  • tilt your head to the side (what ear you want to equalise > my bad ear is the left one so I‘m always tilted to the left side with my head)
  • don‘t go down while being vertical, go horizontal as soon as possible (you‘re going down much slower > more time to equalise)
  • I usually try to swallow and blow together (rarely works but sometimes works for me)
  • a DM recommended oily eardrops (they contain tea tree oil and help prevent the water going into the ear)
  • obviously but still: if you can’t equalise, go up a bit
  • try to equalise your ears while still on land/boat one time, especially if you‘re on your second dive of the day (we usually did a ~45min dive, went back to land, waited 30-45min and went for another ~45min)
  • massage from right behind the ear downwards to the jaw, help opening up the canals (bit of constant pressure, don‘t go towards your artery but more straight down to the collar bone)
  • I always move my ears around, massage them, pull at them in every direction right before a dive (looks ridiculous, helps alot)
  • IDK if you know that but: when you go up, obviously go slowly and DO NOT!!! equalise. Your ears can do it themselves then and you will hear it and for me it hurts alot but when I go up, it‘s much better
  • say that you have problems with your ears and they should and normally do help you through it. We were in big groups (10people) and so obviously not everybody can buddy up with a DM but I always did. The groups started diving when we were still going down so I didn’t feel stressed and pressured to be quick

    Sorry for the long post and you probably know alot but I just saw your post and experience the same problem and just got a few more tips so I thought I‘d share it. :)
