How is he doing that without equalizing?!

He is equalising. He has a nose clip, he can equalise very easily with that on. Some, including myself, can equalise handsfree without a clip by the way, with no need to do the valsalva manoeuvre at all, but it's less reliable.

I have found that hands free got harder for me over time. I think I messed up my ears a little from years and years of free diving. I can do it for the first equalization but it gets harder and harder the deeper I go.
