Re: Wet equalization?

Then, the head is tilted to prevent the sea water from entering the inner ear. This method is the only wet equalizing method which can be done while using a standard air filled mask. It is also extremely likely to cause drowning if attempted!
Is this possible? Has anyone done it?! I'm not about to try!
