    Anyone?  Any ideas?  Come on, somebody out there must have thought
    about this one before.

    If I dive to 50 feet then charge to the surface for a jump, the internal pressure
    should change very little, but if I decide to cruise at depth, the internal pressure
    would slowly become ambient , then upon ascent the pressure would again
    equalize at a slow safe rate.

    I'm open to any suggestions, what may sound crazy today is what we'll all take
    for granted tomorrow.
