hey everyone ive been diving my whole life but have gottin serious recently and have read artciles on the frenzel vs valsalva. the first one i read said, to check between the 2 hold your stomach and eqaulize and if ur stomach moves thats valsalva if it doesnt its frenzel then to hold your throught and if it moves its frenzel... so while eqaulizing my stomach doesnt move and my throught does... also i have no trouble at all reaching 20 meters eqaulizing the way i do and feal i could easily go more but my breath runs out. so all seemed good and i assumed i was doing the frenzel untill i checked an article on step by step how to to it.. and hell no i dont do any of that!! ive never tried to use my epiglotis or my soft palate and i dont think i use my tounge infact i can open my mouth and push my tounge fully out my mouth and still eqaulize exactly the same with a strong pulsing pressure on my ears and my stomach not moving and my throught moving with the pulses... this is the way i have equalized my whole life, only recently i found theres other ways.... WHAT the hell am i doing?? i dont have a clue if im doing frezel or something else i dont even know please help me out with this as i hope its not holding me back from reaching my next goal of 25m and further on to 30m any information will be great please!

I think is not important exactly to undestand what kinda of equalization u're using, most important thing is that it works, for go deeper try to move the air u've in ur lungs to ur mouth at 15 metres so u'll have a lot of air to use for equalization and in this way u'll improuve u're dive. Remember that u'll need some time for increase some metres cuz u're body need to adapt to new pressure physiologically u need time to be confortable with the heavy blood shift, also for have the mental relax to go deeper withouth fears. That's why people increse few metres at time.
