fast ascent

Agreed. Sorry if I sounded short. I reread my post and well it didn't sound good the second time. Typos and misspellings annoy me a bit I must admit, but I understand if the guy isn't English speaking primarily.

Hey, absolutely no offence taken...trust me.

I'd really like to hear from the OP though.

If this was a certification dive then this situation is reprehensible...to say the least.

If it was a practice dive with a hired DM then this is also reprehensible, but less so than the former situation...just.

regarding the nosebleed: I got a nosebleed at/after my first few dives, but it stopped after around 20 dives (about 2 months). There were no other issues and no pain, though it caused my instructor a great deal of alarm as we did the last couple of OW dives.

It must be a sinus issue for some of us....takes a while for our heads to get used to the underwater pressure....now I'm over 150 dives and it's never happened again!

In all likelihood you learned to clear properly in the interim.
