Wet equalization is a technique where the diver flood his/her sinus cavity with seawater at a certain point in the dive by removing his/her noseclip. The diver generally wears fluid goggles on no mask at all as this technique doesn't help with mask equalization.
The technique is used in VERY deep diving (100m+) where every mL of air is needed in the lungs. The down side of this technique is that sea water can be very irritating and can lead to long term sinus / middle ear problems / infections.
In your current condition don't even try! - It may lead to severe sinus infection. Best to learn more normal air equalization technique like Frenzel.
