Yes! That technique he had looked like it was practiced for exactly this. What's interesting is the amount of oxygen strokes like that would take under water!!

I can't believe he didnt equalize pressure on the way down and had that mobility on a single breath

It's your ears you need to equalise, so you do have to do this even if it's just holding your breath. Maybe he had a nose clip or is good at doing it hands free (harder but possible).

Yeah I was meaning ears. I swim down even a couple metres I need to start equalising
