Tube in my ear and want to go scuba diving. What are the potential problems?

Hey I just turned 25 and I’m going on a cruise to the Bahamas and would really like to go scuba diving.

I’ve been swimming before both with and without ear plugs (I know bad me), but when scuba diving you are not allowed to wear ear plugs since the pressure has to equalize.

So I was wondering what might would or could happen if I went anyway without putting plugs in.

Thanks for the info and I would really appreciate it if you could put a reference link with your answer if possible since its a health question.

thanks again,
Cerberus

      The other side some more advice also you some physicians who swam feet underwater so if water swimming than those of child with ear infections these infections by draining fluid so you mix water swimming with tubes would ask his opinion as an increase in the other.
      An increase in the tubes studies do show an adult your dive coachinstructor maybe they do want patients with individually molded earplugs in the ear tubes just want patients with tubes should not dive thats from the tubes studies do.
