Hi DeWayne, I can believe that under water that the pain is less. I have had other diver friends say the some. One of my RT friends and his brother, also a diver who is RT too, well be testing a vent above water and he well be under water. If that works out I might be coming down to your neck of the woods to dive. More dive buddy’s the better. I can handle that.

Take care safe diving Matt. 8)
