How do I equalize them? *Ans* In filled teeth - go to a dentist In a dry suit - learn from an instructor Lungs - breathe normally and continuously What is the most important rule in scuba diving? *Ans* Breathe continuously and never hold your breath What can happen if I don't follow the most important rule in scuba diving? *Ans* Your lungs will over expand and rupture What is a "reverse block"? *Ans* When expanding air becomes trapped in your body air spaces as you ascend What should I do if I feel discomfort in my ears, sinuses, stomach, intestines, or teeth while ascending? *Ans* Stop your ascent and descend a meter/few feet to reduce discomfort and give trapped air time to work its way ou
