Thanks Max, That's encouraging to know. We're going to be very cautious but Jack may try it out when we go on our rescheduled trip to Hawaii in February. If he can't clear his ears then of course he'll abort the dive but it sounds like it's at least worth a shot.

Was the tissue damage ongoing swelling or something else? Did the HBO treatments help?

Regards JoAnne
