Hey, Lucia, I'm so happy for you! I was looking forward to read your account, and it sounds like you had a really good time, with a taste for more.
I just began tackling the equalization thing, now that our sea has warmed up enough to go there without a suit. I found out that playing around with my jaw really helps in equalizing a rebellious ear. I'm just playing around with equalization all the time now, in the water and out.
Cheers,

Ofer
