Two scary experiences in one dive
If you’re under the weather, do not go deep-sea diving. This person, who was suffering from a cold, ignored their inner voice and decided to jump into the ocean anyway. Because of this, they ended up bursting blood vessels in their middle ear, leaving them hearing impaired for several weeks.
But that’s not where the story ends. While resurfacing after experiencing the excruciating pain of ruptured blood vessels, they ascended directly into a group of jellyfish. Things ended up exactly how you would imagine if you found yourself in the middle of a million barbed tentacles. Two lessons learned that day, hopefully.
