Never hold your breath is the most important rule in diving, and this is particularly important when ascending. During your ascent you should not ascend any faster than your computer allows. If you're using the NovoScuba Dive planner ascend no faster than 9 metres per minute. That means that from 5 metres (or your safety stop), it should take at least 30 seconds to reach the surface!

It's essential that you can equalize the pressure in your ears during the descent. Usually, this is easy simply by holding your nose and blowing gently every metre. If you experience discomfort in your ear, you must let your instructor know. The answer is usually to ascend for a metre or so till the discomfort disappears. Do not try to equalize while ascending; the pain should disappear. By that point, you can try to descend again, but more slowly than the first time. Never try to blow hard, as this could damage the inside of your ear. If you cannot descend after 2-3 attempts, your ears are probably blocked. You should end the dive in this case.

Most countries have local regulations that require that cylinders are visually inspected to spot signs of corrosion and cylinder malfunction, every one or two years. A hydrostatic test is required to spot any cylinder integrity issues, typically every four or five years. Your local dive store will be able to advise you on regulations in your area.

The maximum depth for recreational diving is 40 metres. Only divers with a Deep Diver speciality should go that deep. Your maximum depth depends on your level of training:

As you descend, pressure increases, making it harder for the Eustachian tubes to open and equalise the pressure between the outer and middle ear. Standard techniques for equalising include the Valsalva Manoeuvre, which involves exhaling against a closed mouth and nose, and the Toynbee Manoeuvre, which involves swallowing while holding your nose. These techniques help to open the Eustachian tubes, allowing the pressure to equalise. You should equalise ever metre while descending.
