Not really actually. It was very much pressure based - like my ears were being popped constantly and explosively for about 3 minutes.

It threw silt up, changed fishes behaviour and caused me to evacuate the area after though!

Was quite proud of that comment.

Not really, only worry was my SO and the people, we could see cars fleeing the shore so started to worry we could be in trouble.

For me as well I didn't have a phone so couldn't contact anyone which was scary.

This attempt on my life has left me scarred and deformed

That'd be a sensible thing to do and something I'll make sure I do soon.

It wasn't actual 'popping' though, but more like the pressure build up you experience when you are about to pop them when diving.

My ears, balance and head are fine today, but will keep an eye out and get myself properly checked soon.

Ripped our gear off, threw it into the van.

Spent a minute checking what was occurring and got through to our dive centre/hostel which said there was a tsunami warning so we ran to the nearest hill and stayed near the top. After 90 minutes warning was cleared and we headed back.
