What I have found with BTV is that it only works if I start equalizing from a very shallow depth. If I start at less than 1m, I can make it work to the bottom of the pool at 4m. If I leave it for 2m, it is impossible to equalize that way. As things are now, I still find it very difficult, and so I usually use Frenzel instead. The discovery of Frenzel has been a major breakthrough for me. If I had not learnt it, I would probably have been unable to do my open water scuba course and would still be struggling even with freediving at the bottom of a 4-5m pool. If I can also learn BTV reliably, that would be great.
