As often as he/she feels that is necessary. You'd definitely want to start at the surface. If you're looking for a number, every three feet.

How do you prevent the pain caused by airplane cabin pressure changes?

You have to equalize the pressure in your ears regularly. Some people do so by yawning or swallowing, which can be effective, but if that doesn't work, then you should blow as hard as you can through your nose while holding it shut. It's a scuba diver trick and works pretty well if everything else doesn't.

Why do scuba divers exhale slowly as they ascend to surface?

The First Stage ..( the bit on the tank) of a diving regulator senses the pressure exerted on the regulator ( and also on the body) to see how much it is being squeezed, it then compensates for the pressure by filling your lungs with more air than they could hold on the surface BUT because the lungs are being "squashed" the air fills your lungs like normal. The only potential problem comes when you ascend..because you have too much air in your lungs as it starts to expand, it could overinflate your lungs to the point they literally blow up!
