Hi All

Quick question

How could i teach myself to equalise with no hands, without using a nose plug? Do many divers make use of this technique?

Thanks in advance for all your help
 
Hey I do equalize hands-free and I dnt know really how it just comes naturally :) :) and every1 arounds ask me how i do so... It's just that i kind of feel like im tensing the soft palate and then i hear a click in my ears and its equalized (and any1 getting next to my ears will hear it as well)... actually that helps me a lot since i dnt have to squeeze my nose to equalize especially when doing constant weights and starting the free-fall phase...
