I have a Padi "Dive Masters Cert" and have been scuba diving for 30 odd years and have done ship wreck diving in the Soloman Islands for 2 weeks, Fiji for 5 days, Australia and the Great Barrier Reef for 2 months and all around New Zealand. I've also helped teach scuba diving.
Many years ago I used to get my ears syringed at the doctors which helped heaps with equalising diving down and flying, but I wasn't happy with the amount of pressure the doctor was putting on my ear drum which was more than a dive to 140 ft. Remember the ear drum is just a thin bit of skin which can be popped very easily , That's when I tried ear candles and it was wow, I 'am not going back to the doctors.
I 've been out on a few dive drips where people have had problems equalising trying to get down and have either spent a lot of time trying to get down or have had to give up and return to the boat.
Most people I know work hard for their money and have paid good money for their dive gear and dive trips.
So spending $10 on a pair of ear candles to help with equalising with scuba diving is so cheap and helps so much.
