AboutJesse Scott Expertise I can help you with questions about what to expect when learning how to SCUBA dive; how to select a good instructor and dive shop; and how to begin diving after you have been trained. I can help out with gear questions. I am always happy to discuss topics you learned in training but would like to know more detail. I can recommend additional training and books on SCUBA diving. I can discuss NC wreck diving also. I can also discuss what`s involved in learning becoming more involved in the sport and being a rescue diver, dive master, or instructor. NOTE!! I cannot answer medical questions because I am not a doctor.

Question daughter went diving with swimmers ear, thought it was cleared up, some pain while diving. Cleared up the swimmers ear, then a week later went diving again, 2 shallow dives, appeared to have no trouble during dives, after though slight hearing loss sensation, them flew home 2 days later, now complains of greater hearing loss and some pain. It is Sunday tomorrow, Dr closed do I need to get her in sooner or can it wait?
Answer Hi. I'm sorry to hear about your daughter's ear problems. I am not a doctor so it is inappropriate for me to give medical advice. Her ear may now have an infection. If it were my ear and I was having some pain I would go into a 24 hour clinic and have it examined. Either way, I am certain the clinic or your doctor will refer you to an ENT specialist for further examination of her ear. I hope things work out OK, Jesse
