CDavis i agree completely, thats what makes this forum greta is that we can all listen and learn.... in most cases 
from each other, and it remain consructive rather than degenerate into a rabble of insults like on many other forums i used to frequent.
i persoanlly have learned alot over the years either directly from what people have discussed or as a result of testing i have done due to ideas on this forum, it keeps things interesting and only increases the addiction level to this sport.... dangerous!!
Rovenpera, defiently it is true to work slowly and pay attention to pressure however the pressure limit is very personal and depends on many thing 20-30m is not a bad general rule however there are MANY diver that feel strong pressure at 10m then there are those that feel no pressure at all much deeper 50m+. over time and training the "Pressure" one feels becomes deeper and deeper as we become more relaxed and our body learns to become more flexible.
i guess the way i started is probably very similar to most.
when i first started diving pressure was present from 5m and became uncomfortable at just 9-10m then obver the years we adapt and now i feel no pressure what so ever at 30m plus on inhale and start to feel some pressure (if at all) well below 40m.
with time we adapt, so i agree that taking it slowly and listening to your body is important but any attempt to say that a person can dive to XXm or shouldnt dive past XXm is futile.
