Does anyone know what to do when you have got a blocked nose, I need to be better before 5.30PM (UK) so i can go scuba diving. I really need some ideas.

get a bowl of boiling water, put your head over it with a towel over the back of your head so the heat is concentrated on you, stay like that for however long feels right for you. It should help clear it, plus having your head down liek that with the heat can trigger major snot release-age. Then continuously blow your nose, make sure theres nothing in there atall, if your still desparate then use a nose inhaler (not too often there is a chemical in them my science teacher told me to not use too sparingly.) good luck!

Thanks for that i am just waiting for the kettle to boil. It wierd i was fine this morning and it just started.

Did it work for you Kier, it always works for me. Hot water clears it right up. When have no sign of a runny nose and I wash my face with warm water I always need a kleenex afterwards!

Yep it worked a bit but not much, I did have a major snot realse as well and i could not find any tissues. I have still got a blocked nose.

i always use something hot like wasabi or hot sauce to clear up my nose lol. strong mint or peppermint smells work great too

That's true smells could help. The coach at the running camp I used to go to has a big bag of different smeeling oils. It really clears anything right up (or else it is just psycological) :)
