I searched the threads but could not find anything for this funny problem I am having.
I never have problems equalizing either ear when diving head first, but at about 30 feet pressure builds in my sinuses (pressure feeling at the forehead).
The only way to equalize at this point is to move into a head-up position and then it usually clears. This happens again at around 40 feet and again at 55 feet. Obviously, it's not an efficient solution.
I tried the following:
1. Equalizing continously
2. Blowing air into my mask every few feet
3. Valsalva
4. Frenzel (I believe I am doing it correctly since I can keep my mouth open?)
Any ideas what might be going on here and how to fix it?
Thanks!
