Drainage. Lots and lots and lots of drainage! And I hate it!!!
I think I had problems during the first dive in the swimming pool.
After I got home I had water in my ears that I could not get out. A week
later I still had a little water in my ears but I went ahead with the
lesson. After the second lesson in the pool - more water in my ears! Again
after the third lesson still water in my ears. A week later - the check out
dives in a natural spring pond on a Saturday and Sunday. A few days after
that I had to go to the doctor because my ears were killing me. My ear
drums were bulging with liquid. I went to doctor who was also a diver. He
didn't give me penicillin like any doctor in their right mind would. He
game me some drug with fancy name, zearteck or some other . It lowered
the fluid in my ears - very very slowly!
I should also say that I have had sinus trouble since I was a child. I
missed many days of school because of tremendous sinus headaches.
I was really looking forward to getting into diving. I thought it was be a
fun hobby. Something that would let me save up money and spend on it, and
also travel to beautiful islands.
I did two dives on my first cruise in Jamaica. It was fun. I saw a
shark. I prevented my ears from filling up with fluid by taking one
zearteck or whatever thirty minutes before I dived as that doctor told me to
take.
