On the way up from the first dive, I had what's called a "reverse block." Thats when expanding air in your inner ear has trouble escaping through your eustachian tube. It's was kind of scary because the further I went up, the more it hurt. I eventually got it to clear, but not without hurting myself a bit on the way up. There was some blood, so I sat out the second dive of the day. - 0412 095617

You'll notice that the plane was scheduled to leave at 6:20. Leslie and I got off our plane at 6:17. We were supposed to arrive about 35 minutes earlier, except a huge storm front was moving into houston from the west that forced us to go around and come at it from the east.
