Yo Anyone Know If Doc’s Proplugs work???
You dive but have never equalized?? Wowzers you must have no eardrums left
you dont need to be shown how to exhale through your nose
instead of showing how to equilize the mask you just showed a fish?
Nice touch with the underwater shots between remarks.
I can just open the sort of link between the ears and mouth, which you get by swallowing, but I don’t need to swallow. Only works when going down gradually and a deeper descent requires these other methods.
best way for me is pinching my nose & swallowing & the same time, I didn’t say that the way you thought I said it lol.
ive never hear of wiggling your jaw but its worth a try i usually just swallow
I’ll try the wiggling jaw to see if it works for me.
I’ve tried a number of things especially and hold-nose-and-blow technique (Valsalva?). It works the first 13-15 feet, then I’ve to see-saw little up and greater down till I get to depth whilst trying the Valsalva at the top of the little up.
really really helpful, it hurts when i go down too deep and never had the guts to do the blow out your nose thing so ill try the others, if not then ill hold my nose and blow
