How deep can you go on 2 EQ's?

Imagining that you pre-equalize on the surface, how deep can you go with two more EQ's without having any ear pain? I am referring to the point that the 3rd EQ would be done: a slight ear sensation maybe, but 0 pain. I am aware that constant Equing, and not waiting to feel the sensation is better.

Why do I ask? I am sure that as with anything, EQ gets easier with practice, and my EQ requirements are less after a year of training.

Is it:
a. because my ear drums are more flexible (in/out) now and there is less pain?
b. because I am sub-consciously EQing without pinching in between?
c. because I am more relaxed in general diving now and "ear fear" or worry induced EQ problems have gone?

To put this in context, 1 year ago I could not even get to 12M due to pain and not being able to EQ.
THANKS
