Nasal showers are a great way to fight sinus infections and to clear the sinuses for pressure equalization for divers.
However, I do not want to bring a full sinus rinse kit with me on a dive holiday.

All other versions I found online were awkward to print, so I made this support free one.

Depending on your printer settings, you might want to trim down a seal washer or throw in an O-ring to get a better seal. But then again, a nasal rinse is messy anyway, so it does not really matter.

Usage:
This is basically just a bottle cap with a nozzle.
1. Find any standard sized plastic bottle (e.g. Coca Cola). I recommend 0.5-1L bottles. In countries with questionable tap water, you might want to buy a water bottle or even destilled water.
2. punch a hole in the bottom with a sharp object (3-5mm, you should be able to cover it with your finger)
3. insert salt water mix (5-6g of iodine free salt per 500ml)
4. screw on nozzle, mix and rinse

Youtube has great videos explaining nasal rinses in detail, go there for medical explanations and recommendations.
