I have experienced diving before, but the ear pressure balance could not be applied effectively and caused ear pain! So I am a bit worried!
A: Students often ask this question during experience diving courses.A complete experience diving tutorial is a complete tutorial that does not rush the time. , in the diving knowledge and skills practice course, students will learn two techniques for balancing ear pressure. Instructors often tell students that the experience of diving should not be about the student performing headphone balancing techniques in line with the instructor's diving speed, but about the instructor controlling the diving speed according to the completion of the student's ear pressure balance. When a student dives for the first time, the instructor faces the student and pays close attention to whether the student's ear pressure balance is completed and whether the breathing is stable to control the diving speed, instead of going around behind the student and diving. The students are led down. In this way, students will be more nervous and it will be difficult to achieve ear pressure balance.
Using the ear pressure balancing techniques learned in the course and the diving techniques guided by the instructor, most students can successfully complete the dive without causing eardrum squeezing pain. The speed of the dive can be done in stages to guide students to complete ear pressure balancing techniques.
