I normally would not ask that any of you watch the Lifetime Network, but Saturday nite @ 8PM Lifetime will air "Fatal Honeymoon" that is based on the true story of Gabe Watson and his wife who mysteriously died while diving in Australia on their honeymoon. If you watch I hope you enjoy. I'll be watching! v/r rick

I Can't EAR You
http://www.diversalertnetwork.org/Medsim/Ears
We always hear about various squeezes when we dive; mask squeeze, sinus squeeze, but probably the most prevalent is ear squeeze. Don't equalize from the start of your descent and you could blow an eardrum. Worse yet you could damage your anvil, stirrup, coclea, semi-circular canals. What the heck am I talking about you say? Well if you take a few minutes to look at the link I have provided you get an excellent simulation of what the ear is all about! Understand a little of the physiology of the ear and it might help you when you feel squeezed. Ciao!
