Water equalization... how to get teh water away from your ears.. I have filled my ears with water once, not when diving, but just to try previously mentioned technique.. I hated it, I can tell you that it feels really creepy when water drips in to your ears.. I only filled my right ear completely then I stopped because it felt so..well I don't know exactly how to describe it, but rather different.. so if you want to try it do it in shower just pour water into your nose and tilt your head to the side where you want water to go to, and you will feel how it flows into your ear, then repeat untill you can't get anymore water in.... Well I am in no means expert on this thing, but that's how I did it... and then I shook my head and let the water run from my ears.. moving your lower jaw helps as well as tilting and shaking your head..
I think that kind of equalizing would take quite bit of pleasure away from my recreational diving... and as I know it is dangerous as well.. so I am not planning on trying it again.. I didn't get infection but my ears felt wet for quite a while after that...
my 2c..
