Hi Martin,
Have a similar problem i can hands free in the pool and in dynamic as the pool gets deeper but when i am diving i cant seem to and have to revert to holding my nose. i think its related to head position and the speed of descent and is something i have to practice but getting that practice is difficult. I got the hands free equalisation eventuallly by half yawning with mouth closed is the best way i can describe it. Not sure on why not but some people talk about tubular exercises and even thogh it may not seem like it there may be some small bloackage that needs a harder equalisation than hands free allows until the tubes get stronger but martin these are just ideas that i have seen and heard someone else may be a lot better qualified to speak about the technique.
