I'm suffering from this now. The dive was awesome - one of my better dives - with no issues equalising at the time, felt really comfortable in the water. Thinking it may have been due to some fast shallow dives for paua on our way back to the van.

First time it has happened to me, also first time diving with a new mask ... could that be a contributing factor?

going through the nasal rinse thing now, relief feels like its slowly coming on Dead

All good tried some nasal saline rinse and went for a blast in the pool last night and all seems well that time.

Thanks for the ideas and suggestions boys !

It is a nasal rinse.  I used to have a lot of issues with hard to equalise sinuses, especially at about 10m. Bought a nasal rinse kit (I mixed my own salt into it rather than buy the kits)  and over time my sinuses came right. Thankfully hasnt been a problem of late.

A kit a mate of mine uses is http://www.neilmed.com/nz/sinusrinse_isotonic.php

Good luck

Sounds like blocked Sinuses.  
Give a Neti Pot a crack  http://www.webmd.com/allergies/sinus-pain-pressure-11/neti-pots?page=2

Few points:
- Make sure you boil the water (or if you have loads of $$ use Evian)
- Be careful using Decongestants when diving as if they wear off you can get reverse block and that is a real mofo,
- Otravin might seem like a good idea, it isn't, as long term use cab narrow your nasal passages which will make it worse!

Hope you come right soon

I've had the same issue twice before, both times I woke up the next day with a cold so I've just assumed it was to do with blocked sinuses.

Couldn't get past 1.5m without feeling like my eyes were going to explode out of my head.

Your problem is most likely blocked sinuses though. It's like an expanding ball of needles as you go deeper? The passages need a good clean out with decongestants and snorting salt water.]]> Sun, 06 Sep 2015 20:58:07 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=112104&PID=1583586&title=sore-head-eye-socket#1583586 <![CDATA[sore head/eye socket : I had that once.

I had that once. Turns out that getting amped on bzp, pot and shots then picking a fight with 3 maoris isn't so smart. True story.]]> Sun, 06 Sep 2015 20:55:40 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=112104&PID=1583584&title=sore-head-eye-socket#1583584
