Re: Hands-free-equalisation-howto

Tbird, it does take a bit of practise, I only managed to get it rite after about my third or fourth dive that I tried it. What I also find helps is if you push your chin ( lower jaw ) forward while doing it so forcing the soft part below your tongue down. I also unconciously "practice" it throughout the day. Ive noticed I do it about every 15min or so...
Also after you equilise in this way, the moment you feel your ears pop, let out a small bit of air through your nose to equilise the pressure in your mask I found if you dont do this it doesnt work. Luckily weve still got hands-on equilisation to fall back on while we learn all the extra cool stuff about freediving
Safe diving
