    Cheers for that ace... I cant imagine myself wearing earmuffs (i take it you don't mean the fluffy kind that you wear when out in cold weather? LOL

    I think I'll just have to see how it goes. If i get further ear problems, I might have to seriously consider it :S

    Do you regularly use an ear wash before and after your dives Lottie? We use a concoction we call ear beer that is basically equal parts alcohol and white vinegar (the alcohol dries the passages and the acidic vinegar kills the nasties.) I have known a few folks that were prone to ear problems and had great results using this mixture both before and after their dives. I always use it after a dive, and anytime I am going into darker water (river caves, sumps, etc.) I will use it prior to the dive. It might be worth a try to avoid any future prolonged SI's.

    As mentioned, there is a new way to deal with those who simply cannot get their ears wet.

    That's the mask I was talking about! I saw some girl using one, she had all kinds of ear problems normally. She said she had no problems with that one. I wish I would have asked her more about it.

    I loved Raja Ampat, but not sure if I want it to be one of the "repeat" dive trips. Been to PNG many times and plan to go many more times. Liked Bali OK. But I would go back to Lembeh Straits in a heartbeat!! Where else could you see a "beauty" like these???

    Well ... I don't get out much ... lol Majority of my diving is close to home. I love diving where it's warm though ... As far as a dream destination, I don't think I've seen enough places yet to make it matter. Everywhere is cool to me! Antarctica would be awesome. I don't think it gets any colder water temps there than we get here in the winter ... And we don't really do anything special to dive here other than drysuits and a lot of whining and complainingl ... :P

    Dream destination for which month? I'm looking at the Red Sea, Mauritius, Galapagos, Fernando de Noronha or Abrolhas in Brazil, and Antarctica.
