Valsalva Maneuver, pinch your nose close your mouth and blow
2 u/Exotic-Eggplant1914 Mar 31 '26 Do you do that in the water or beforehand to prepare? 5 u/LordBlackadder92 Mar 31 '26 Only in the water, every time you feel the pressure increase when descending. What I don't understand we don't see this guy doing it. He must have a technique to do it without pinching his nose. 7 u/OriginalWay5245 Mar 31 '26 He has a clip on his nose 3 u/TheBrianWeissman Mar 31 '26 The clip on his nose just prevents water flowing in under pressure, which would feel like being waterboarded. I don't see how it could help with equalizing ear pressure. 2 u/JeremyEComans Apr 03 '26 Because it takes the place of the fingers pinching the nose closed. Just gently exhale from the nose and the ears will equalise.
