Eric,
Actually I had wondering what would happen when there was a large pressure difference creating a suction similar to mask squeeze. I had also wondered about a possible eardrum rupture due to a sudden increase to ambient pressure, but I never envisioned it due to blood vessel rupture in the outer ear. That must of looked terrible when you surfaced! Did you know the sudden increase in pressure was due to a blood vessel rupture at the time it happened? Thank God you were able to equal quickly.
Like you said, “You have to dive deep”. My freediving interest is mainly hunting. 67 and 75 meters is way deeper than I ever plan on going. At what depth do you feel it would be save to go to with suit squeeze?
Don
