Squeeze In Diving at Meghan Miller blog

Squeeze In Diving. Common causes of mask squeeze and facial barotrauma. Mask squeeze (face squeeze) is when a scuba diver fails to equalise the pressure of the airspace inside their mask. It can cause a ruptured eardrum and can happen either while diving or flying. The first sign of this type of sinus barotrauma is generally a sharp pain. A squeeze occurs in scuba diving when the pressure of the water surrounding a diver is greater than the pressure inside his body air spaces. When a diver descends, the pressure of the water around them increases. Squeeze in scuba diving is essentially a pressure imbalance issue. During descent (squeeze) failure to equalize pressures on paranasal sinuses while descending keeps these cavities at atmospheric pressure, which results in a relative negative pressure (vacuum) as you descend to depth. Tips to prevent mask squeeze. The affect of the mask squeeze is to cause a facial and eye barotrauma , or bruising of the skin and eyes. Not equalizing the pressure in the mask while descending. You are most likely to experience mask squeeze in the first 10 metres (33 feet) of the dive. A dry diving suit tightly encloses an area of skin. It occurs when pressure in the air space of the middle ear is not equalized to the ambient pressure.
