Hi,
Sometimes when I have done many dives continuously over a period of days, on the following dives, I would have this acute pain in the ear when I have descended to around 20-30 ft range. When I felt it for the first few time or so, I thought it was an equalization issue and went up a few feet and kept trying to further equalize, but the extreme discomfort does not go away and I would further descend, then the pain would go away below 30 ft.
Now it happens sometimes when I go on dive trips after having done 3 days worth of diving, so I usually quickly descent below 30ft and it becomes all fine. I sometimes also feel the same thing on my ascent, but much milder and it does not get worse and worse as I ascent like when I descent.
Is there some chambers in my head that opens up from pressure as I go deeper? And it frequently happening after a few days of diving, maybe that is due to having more sinus swelling after a few days in the colder water?
These are all tropical water diving.
