Yes, ladies and gentlemen, there was another Foo sighting yesterday. She IS real (late). I had a great time, finally got my weight dialed in and really enjoyed the dive. I was having so much fun playing around that I got ignorant. I had been rolling around and chasing fish the entire dive, having a blast. Those bass get real aggressive when they're on the nest, and I was loving it. I kept doing it, and we were coming near the end of the dive, and I was in 10 feet of water. I had to get slightly negative to keep all that neoprene down, then I got the mother of all calf cramps. I doubled over to work it out, my head dropped all of 2-3 feet in depth, and the ear went. We all know where the greatest pressure changes occur, and this is further proof of it. Luckily, it's scar tissue now so there's no pain associated with it, I'm just out of the water for a month. My bride called an ENT for me, and he had a prescription for antibiotic drops waiting for me when I got back to town, just to prevent infection from the water.
See Des, it happens even when you're not there. My ignorance and weakened tympatic causes it...lol.
It was great meeting Twobit, and had a great time diving with Kevreid again. I'm looking forward to the next time in the swamp. Maybe we can get Sealskin and Truckdiver out there, as well as the rest of the northern clan for another gathering like we had last year.
