  • Ear Clearing for Non-Divers
    Scuba School Ltd – Ear Clearing for non-divers Ear clearing or clearing the ears or equalization is any of various maneuvers to equalize the pressure in the middle ear with the outside pressure, by letting air enter along the Eustachian tubes, as this does not always happen automatically when the pressure in the middle ear is lower than the outside pressure. This need can arise in scuba diving, freediving/spearfishing, skydiving, fast descent in an aircraft, fast descent in a mine cage, and being put into pressure in a caisson or similar pressure-bearing structure, or sometimes even simply travelling at fast speeds in an automobile. People who do intense weight lifting, like squats, may experience sudden conductive hearing loss due to air pressure building up inside the ear. They are advised to engage in an ear clearing method to relieve pressure, or pain if any. Methods The ears can be cleared by various methods,[5] some of which pose a distinct risk of barotrauma including perforation of the eardrum: Yawning which helps to open the eustachian tubes; Swallowing which helps to open the eustachian tubes; The "Frenzel maneuver": Using the rear part of the tongue and throat muscles, close the nostrils, and close the back of the throat as if straining to lift a weight. Then make the sound of the letter "K." This pushes the back of the tongue upward, compressing air into the openings of the eustachian tubes. "Politzerization": a medical procedure that involves inflating the middle ear by blowing air up the nose during the act of swallowing; The "Toynbee maneuver": pinching the nose and swallowing.

  • Dive Theory Guide
    DIVE THEORY STUDY GUIDE by Rod Abbotson CD69259 © 2010 Dive Aqaba Guidelines for studying: Study each area in order as the theory from one subject is used to build upon the theory in the next subject. When you have completed a subject, take tests and exams in that subject to make sure you understand everything before moving on. If you try to jump around or don’t completely understand something; this can lead to gaps in your knowledge. You need to apply the knowledge in earlier sections to understand the concepts in later sections... If you study this way you will retain all of the information and you will have no problems with any PADI dive theory exams you may take in the future. Before completing the section on decompression theory and the RDP make sure you are thoroughly familiar with the RDP, both Wheel and table versions. Use the appropriate instructions for use guides which come with the product. Contents Section One PHYSICS ………………………………………………page 2 Section Two PHYSIOLOGY………………………………………….page 11 Section Three DECOMPRESSION THEORY & THE RDP….……..page 21 Section Four EQUIPMENT……………………………………………page 27 Section Five SKILLS & ENVIRONMENT…………………………...page 36 PHYSICS SECTION ONE Light: The speed of light changes as it passes through different things such as air, glass and water. This affects the way we see things underwater with a diving mask. As the light passes through the glass of the mask and the air space, the difference in speed causes the light rays to bend; this is called refraction. To the diver wearing a normal diving mask objects appear to be larger and closer than they actually are.

  • “EARLY and OFTEN - WHEN?” By: George Safirowski
    “EARLY AND OFTEN - WHEN?” by: George Safirowski One of the basic skills that each scuba student must learn early in an open water basic certification course is equalization of pressure on decent. The process of equalization is necessary every time we go diving, since air spaces in the middle ear are of particular importance because even a minor pressure imbalance can result in an injury. The technique involved in preventing ear squeeze is easy to learn, and instructions are very simple - “equalize early and often”. But what does early and often really mean? While teaching hundreds of scuba divers trained and certified by various organizations gave me an opportunity to observe that the majority of newly and many “experienced” divers have a problem deciding when it is early enough, and how often they should equalize. To prevent ear squeeze, a diver must begin the equalization process prior to any sensation of discomfort or pain. Pain is a symptom of tissue damage and swelling taking place in the air passages, further restricting comfortable equalization. Therefore, using pain as an indicator to begin equalization means it is already too late. Tissue damage within the ear also renders itself to ear infections due to the already injured tissue being exposed to the surrounding environment and having little resistance against the soup of microscopic creatures. Often a dive vacation turns out to be a bust caused by external otitis. While diving, there is absolutely no reason to continue with decent if equalization was not successful at a shallower depth. Often peer pressure and lack of buoyancy control are major contributors in equalization difficulties.

  • Ear Squeeze - the Most Common Dive Injury
    Ear Squeeze - The Most Common Dive Injury It's no surprise that ear squeeze, the most common injury in scuba diving, results in the most frequently asked question to Divers Alert Network. At the same time, many middle ear barotraumas may be one of the most preventable injuries in diving. It takes awareness, training, practice and a lot of patience. Sinus squeeze is equally prevalent as a dive injury. It's simply an issue of space: at some time in their diving careers, most divers will have a problem related to clearing their ears or sinuses. A little knowledge of the condition and a few preventive measures can go a long way toward avoiding squeeze. When we talk about barotrauma, we mean a pressure- related injury to the soft tissue lining the body’s air spaces - for example, in the middle ear and sinus cavities. Although this is where we feel discomfort, the problem begins in the air passageways that connect these airspaces to the back of the throat. These mucous membrane-lined passages serve the body in two important ways: They moisten or humidify the air moving through the connecting passages, and they help protect the body from foreign material such as pollen and bacteria by producing protective mucus. This mucus traps the material and allows it to be transported to the back of the throat, where it is swallowed and destroyed by stomach acid. A normally functioning mucous membrane is a remarkable defense mechanism. For new divers, equalizing the ears may involve a learning curve: Their previous experience may have been only an airplane ride or a trip across a mountain range.

It occurs much more commonly in the novice diver as a direct result of improper middle ear equalization technique. The following information is intended for the diving instructor, diving safety officer and any individual charged with the responsibility of managing novice divers. This information should also be of value for the advanced or commercial diver interested in rapid descent. The topic includes a discussion of nine different techniques of equalization, and offers tips on assessing the effectiveness of middle ear pressurization. LEARNING OBJECTIVES At the end of this topic, the reader should be able to: 1. Define and recognize "Ear Fear". 2. Recognize and assess the effectiveness of equalization efforts. 3. Discuss the difference between middle ear pressurization and middle ear equalization. 4. Describe and be able to teach nine different methods of middle ear equalization.
