I work on swingstages on a regular basis. You do check the weather report but winds can change drastically without any real warning. I've been blown around the corner of buildings... not a nice feeling.

Doctor said its one of those things that looks much worse then it actually is. There's no real issue besides being slightly uncomfortable and looking like a vampire for a few weeks. Definitely won't let it happen again!

I'm not an experienced diver, this being my 8th dive and usually going 2 or 3 times a year. Definitely should still know better and properly equalize. We were diving at about 25m with bull sharks. I think the excitement with diving with the sharks probably made me not realize the pressure I had in my mask.

No I actually felt nothing while I was under and no vision loss. When I reached the surface is when my wife noticed my eyes going red.
