We returned last week from a trip to the Bahamas. While there, we did another Discover Scuba course. During the descent, I could not get my ears to equalize. First it was the left then the right, then both. I went from almost panicking to feeling a bit better and and enjoying the dive then uncomfortable again to the point of considering thumbing it, etc. I did keep signaling to the DM to whole time that I was having ear issues but was ok otherwise. He kept a close eye on me the whole time. Once we were at the surface he quietly told me that I had some blood in my mask. I don't know what caused this but I did not do the 2nd dive. I don't know if I'm cut out for diving. I love the underwater world, but I know there are just some things I cannot do. I'm sure there are MANY threads on this topic but just wanted to share my experience. I'm really unsure what to do at this point. Husband is going to go ahead with his certification.
