Over a year ago I approached the group with a problem I was having with
vertigo/nausea when ever I rolled. One roll wasn't too bad but a couple of
rolls in succession always left me dizzy, to the point that I couldn't walk
when I got out of my boat. After several minutes the symptoms passed.
Wearing a dive hood and/or mask made no difference. A few members in the
group suggested that I try earplugs.

Well, I finally gave it a go on Saturday after a paddle around Trial Island.
I used some of those squishy foam earplugs under my dive hood and aside from
the to be expected ice cream headache, no dizziness, even after multiple
rolls! Thanks for the tip.
