The funny thing was, for once in my life I wanted to be a man and power through it, but I would've blown my ear drum. I guess I did power through in a way by persisting and sticking out the dive. ...Btw, I wasn't the only one with issues. The Israelis had many more (unneccesary) issues and so did the other group. It just feels like you're the only one when it's happening to you.
