Surfing the net in Cozumel. I blew out my ear drum Wednesday while descending on Maraciabo. What a weird sensation it was. No pain, just a stinging in my throat where salt water rushed in, bubbles coming out of my ear, and a dizzying effect of nausea. I'd been congested over the last week but able to equalize. I guess all that nose blowing weakened the membrane and 6 dives was all I was to get this trip. It was interesting to visit one of the chambers where I saw an ENT to diagnose the problem.
I give a full report when I get back home. Until then, if you happen to see me, make sure to speak clearly into my right ear.
