How can i prevent my ears hurting when scuba diving?
March 24th, 2008 | by admin |Kim asked:
My boyfriend has been scuba diving for a number of years, and i’ve recently decided to start.
The problem is, after going down only to about 2 metres, the pressure in my ears is really strong and painful.
I have the same problem when flying, and have to use ear plugs which relieve pressure. There is nothing wrong with my ears, i have been the doctors,
Does anyone know if there are any ear plugs, similar to the ones i use for flying, that relieve pressure in the ears? or could i possibly use my flying ear plugs to go scuba diving?
I cant hold my breath and make my ears “pop” thats part of the problem.

Try chewing on a piece of gum, while diving or flying. Sounds funny but it works.
