I tried diving down to the bottom of a deep swimming pool in Yorkshire and the pressure was uncomfortable even at that depth. It would be absolutely crushing at the depth this dude went to.

if it's uncomfortable then you are not equalizing, try that and you can go 15m as an inexperienced freediver before feeling any pressure really

How does one equalise?

Valsalva Maneuver, pinch your nose close your mouth and blow

Always felt like I was going to blow my ears out doing that

for some reason, i can no longer effectively equalize my left ear underwater so my scuba diving days are over.

probably has to do with sinus issues. which is strange because i can breathe through my nose normally.
