directions well). ANY ideas to get it sooner? I am sure I will end
up going in the water and diving fro it but really dont want too. I
hate diving deep cuz I cannot relieve the pressure in my ears.


Hello,

you should learn how to equalize the pressure in your ears, it is very
easy if you know how.
One method ist to hold your nose closed with two fingers and to press
air slowly and carefully against the closed nose. You will hear a
clicking noise at both ears when the pressure is equalized. This will
work above water too for a test. But dont use high pressure, if it does
not work with small to medium pressure you should ask a medical doctor
specialised on ears.
