Billie, the pulldowns do help me because I can go slower and I manage to equalize. However, I think it's my technique (or lack of) that gives me the problem. I have no issues when I scuba, I have gone over 200ft. with no problem equalizing. At 85-90ft (freediving) I can't manage to get the air from my mouth to my ears/nose without swallowing it or having it rush back into my lungs. I went over the frenzelfattah workshop again, and I think it's just gonna take practice. Let me know how the spring diving goes, I'd like to come up and dive with you guys. I'm heading back out with Martin and Paul on Tues. If I get my equalization down pat, my target is 132ft. (40m) Babysteps... Good luck and dive safe tomorrow. Tony
