- I just don't log dives
Hello all –
I only have about 6 dives under my belt and during most of these I’ve had issues with equalization (40-60ft). During my last trip to Cozumel (feeling well, no congestion, cold, etc.) on the first dive of the vacation I got down about 25 feet and felt the usual pressure in my ears
it sounds like you are waiting too long to start to equalize, once you feel any pressure its time to go up a few feet to equalize...in the future you should be equalizing every few feet on the way down..never wait until you feel the pressure..by that time, its usually too late .
some people can equalize while under a squeeze, but for those who cant early and often equalization is very important .
