FAQ

My ears hurt when I dive to the bottom of a pool. Won't they hurt when I scuba dive?

Your ears hurt because water pressure pushes in on your ear drum.

In your scuba course, you'll learn a simple technique to equalise your ears to the surrounding pressure, much like you do when you land in an airplane, and they shouldn't hurt at all. 

If you have concerns about your ears hurting then we recommend you go and see your Doctor before attending the course to get them checked out.
