Maybe someone can share their experience on this. I went diving for first time in 2009 this morning, and I took great (double extra plus) caution to equalise my ears, especially after bad experiences last year.

So I equalized fine during the dive (max only 25ft, just trying to get used to depth again after 4-5 months out of deep water), got out from the ocean fine, took a nap and I woke up feeling like my left ear is clogged up. I blow my nose a bit, and it cleared up. Another hour or so this happened again. Seems like I still need to equalize the ear even after I'm done diving for a while. My right ear does not have this problem. It's been 10 hrs now, still have it.

Anyone else has this happened? :head
