3. Had two different problems One resulted in sore teeth for a couple weeks. (major squeeze) and the other a mask full of blood. (reverse squeeze) Shoulda known better. I was congested prior to the dives. Serves me right. Posted on 8/18/2010 3:38:14 PM by dalehall

3. i always have problem in equalizing, can manage the first dive. but the second dive with 45-60 mins. interval is difficult. i tried to do the second dive, but cant do it. it really hurts so much that needs to abort the dive :-( Posted on 7/22/2010 9:31:36 AM by seagurl
