Report this to your dive master.
You should equalise the pressure in your inter nasal cavity by, blocking you nose and blowing, or Chewing Gum.
Ask your local Scuba community to help you find a physician expericed with treating scuba divers and the physiological affects of diving.
Do not take medication for these migranes and dive at the same time without an explicit prescription from a physician to do so. A little more Are you using nitrox? If so, then cut the oxygen ppO back. It sounds like you have a good handle on this already. My guess is you are having a CO2 buildup and getting a CO2 headache (even though you aren't skip breathing) or a sinus squeeze. Make sure you are fully exhaling and not holding a little air in your lungs while trying to stay neutral ... and perhaps you are not. I would try to find a doctor that is a diver to figure out what is going on since you should not be getting headaches.

Is migraine with aura a common migraine?
That depends if you are asking about the medical term or if it is a type of migraine that occurs frequently. There are two main categories of migraine. The term "common migraine" is an antiquated term that refers to migraines without aura. This term "common migraine" is no longer accepted in the International Headache Society's ICHD II which is used to diagnose headache disorders. Some older physicians who are not familiar with headache medicine may still use this term because they are not aware of the change in terminology. "Classic migraines" is an antiquated term that refers to migraines with aura. This term "classic migraine" is no longer accepted in the International Headache Society's ICHD II which is used to diagnose headache disorders. Some older physicians who are not familiar with headache medicine may still use this term because they are not aware of the change in terminology. "Common migraines" occur more frequently than migraines with aura, but up to 30% of migraine sufferers experience migraines with aura. People who experience migraines with aura may still end up experiencing a "common migraine" sometime during their lifetime. For appropriate diagnosis, treatment and prevention of headache disorders, seek the help of a board certified headache specialist.
