Hi Shrek,
With scuba yes I am feet first. I have been using the vasalva, now trying to perfect the frenzel. Thought I was doing it correctly butupon further review I dont think my soft palet is in the neutral position. It feels like a complete block. Thanks for your respone.

Tilt your head a little at the left side while equalizing to stretch the muscle of your right side.
I think you have what is known as eustation tube disfunction. It isn't going to make much difference what equalisation method you use to start with. Valsalvea has a failure depth of about 15m. Then you need to know how to frenzel to go past that.
But for now the first thing you need to do is get the mussles around the eustation tubes working. One exercise is while in the shower blow your nose for about 5 minutes. And i'm sure other people have various other exercises.
The good news is the more diving and equalising you do the more these mussles develop making it easyer.
When it comes to learning frenzel if your one of those people having difficlty i surgest rather than reading about it you find someone localy you can sit down with and get practical tuition.As probem solving is much easyer when the person showing you can see what your doing wrong.
Most important don't give up this may take some time!!

Naa valsalva is crap right from the start. Doesn't really have a failure depth, it's just slow and unreliable the whole way. Especially when you're inverted.
