Ear Barotrauma After Equalization: What to Do?

Question
When I equilized at 3m bubbles appeared out of my R ear. No real pain. Is this bad for future diving, can I go safely deeper next time?

Answer
Hello Frieda.  I'm sorry to hear about that experience.  I am not a physician and cannot legally provide medical advice.  However, what you experienced is not normal for diving.  I recommend that you abstain from diving until you can explain your experience to a physician.  You may have experienced some sort of barotrauma and it would be unwise to dive again until you have been cleared by a doctor.  Good luck.  Jesse
