Hello,
Apologies initially for almost certainly not knowing the lingo for this forum - it's my first post. I'm also really new to diving, having only about 15/20 dives under my belt.
A few weeks ago I went diving and got to 100ft, and developed a pain above my left eyebrow. I assumed that it was mask squeeze because I went up to 60ft and it eased and I was able to continue the dive.
Today, I went diving and it's a shallow dive, of say 45ft at it's deepest, and I had to abort the dive this time. To be honest it was incredibly scary because I lost my reg somehow and had to go to the top. I know I should have remembered the things I learnt during the course, but I panicked.
Afterwards, I was chatting to one of the guys at the dive shop and he mentioned that he had got sinus squeeze.
I'm not sure - I haven't had a cold recently.
Thanks and any tips/advice gratefully received.
