I haven't been diving yet, but my "flying mentor" who introduced me to
flying is now a PADI instructor, and is now trying to get me to dive...

I had been somewhat resistant, since I didn't have much free time for it
this summer, but if it really is the next snake oil, I might just have to
give it a whirl.

Of course, being in NY, undergoing the current blizzard, it might just be
a bit cold for that now... (Then again, I understand that it is worse in
April!)

Ever try scuba diving? the dramatic pressure changes in your nasal
passages combined with in infusion of salt water/air will make you a

man. You'll lose weight, feel younger, loose those bags under the
eyes, stop snoring, and breathe better than you ever have!

OK... You guys are all going to think I'm trolling now, but...

Generally, when flying, my nasal passages get unusually dry and I blow
some things out of my nose that are really big, bold, and not very
beautiful... It's fairly uncomfortable, and it happens both on
airlines and in unpressurized GA planes (Cessna 172). It usually
starts within an hour of takeoff (but sometimes later, sometimes even
after I am on the ground), and lasts up to 24 hours...

Anyone else out there have this problem? Any thoughts as to how to
alleviate it?
