Er, only if he doesn't surface...It's the opposite pressure - pressure increases when you are diving and decreases when you are flying. So the pressure will be "in" when diving (and "out" while flying I reckon).
Only if the plane doesn't land...True enough! So yes, the pressure coming up will be the same as flying (doh!)
Hi Folks
A friend suffers killer pains in his ears when he flies-Im not talking slight popping noises, Im talking searing pains and temp deafness in his ears. He's on about doing diving PADI course-does anyone know if the pressure from diving would also cause these pains? Is it the same kind of pressure as that of flying?
Cheers
Now i've just recently completed my PADI advanced open water course and while i used to have some problems equalising during descent i usually over came this. It was actally the ascent that caused me problems. I used to get what they call "a reverse blockage" where i would experience deafness for sometimes up to a week after.
