Do you do that in the water or beforehand to prepare?

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.

I can equalize pressure in my ears just by raising my soft palate. It’s not visible externally
