💥How to do Free Immersion Technique th-cam.com/video/Glro97ZsTuw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=hjDJt7AloWPIrIbU
wow, sad to hear...While Freediving or scuba diving? :-( Technically it should heal by itself within 1-2 months, but better to see a doctor since there is a risk of infection
Hi! thank you for the video. I tried it and it worked! However, it's not working if my head upside down. It seems my Eustachian tube is absolutely closed. What training should I do to be able to equalize upside down?
First time I've heard my left ear respond directly to a single technique. Awesome stuff - thanks!
Nice!
Thank you for the great info!!!
You are welcome!❤
Good video, thank you! Going to croatia tomorrow, and i really needed a pro tip before i travel :D
Thx Christer! Are you going to train there or do a course?
going on a holiday, just freediving for fun :D
have FUN!
Thank you.
You are welcome!
When I dive I feel like I run out of Air in my mouth for equalizing when I get to like deeper than 10m and need to focus to get air up to my mouth and it mess up my equalizing flow. Any tips?
Hi. Great video. I have a question, i have an eye problem, retinopathy, can i still go freediving?
Yo soo
U tried?
Thanks for that video! I wanted to ask, You say it can help practice before going into the water, but isn't is unhealthy to equalize outside of water? As I understood, it can cause the opposite thing? Like when the eardrum goes too much outside?
No, it is not dangerous or unhealthy, just dont use too much effort (especially if you do Valsalva)
Very good! How about a quick explanation
about right way to hold hands, strokes, and kicking at dynamic without fins in the pool?
How to mix kicks and strokes to get the most out of it? Thanks
Hey! Thx for your question! One of my next video going to be about DNF for beginners ;-)
hey! If you still interested in DNF, check my last video about it :-)
Hello thank you for these informations, I want to ask for removing the snorkel in freediving
Hi! We recently wrote a blog article about it, check it out here crystalfreediving.com/2020/05/31/snorkel-for-freediving/
But let me know if you need more explanation, I am happy to help!
The snorkel is pretty important. It allows you to be more relaxed and do a better breath up!
Thanks for explaining. I have a question about the equalization. Are there any other risks while equalizing than blowing too hard? I'm a bit scared.
Yes, there is a risk. You need to EQ gently, not as hard as you can :)
Your ears can bleed and you must burst your eardrum
Why sometime when i equalize, my eadrum is okay but back inside my eyes like hurt. This happen in about 3-5 meter. Then i start go to the surface again if this happen. Im afraid if im going more down it gonna be more worst. Is it normal or okay?
It would good to get a diver to reply here but am I right in saying the pressure in your goggles needs to be equalised too. The tip I read for this one was to let air in/out by breathing through your nose a bit into the mask. I use a full face mask and haven't experienced this so I am not sure
it sounds like a problem with your sinuses....check them up with a doctor before your next ow session!
On what depth do you need to equalize your ears and mask? Thank you!!
Before you feel any discomfort! Start with every meter ;-) And then with the practice you understand how often you need to equalize. My first equalization is even before I start the dive, and then every 2-3 meters. Some Freedivers equalize more often, some less often ;-)
Crystal Freediving thank you very much! I will try it tommorow.
Is it clicking everytime you equalize in those 10 seconds? I do a few “pumps” before I hear a pop in the left and then my right. Always takes a little longer for my right.
Well, ears not equalizing simultaneously. One always come first. But they both should be working every time you equalise.
Hi! When I go head up I can equalize with no problem and go until ~18m, but head down I can't equalize, not even for 2m. Any idea/tip to solve it? It is quite frustrating to not be able. Thanks!
Sounds like you are equalizing with your lungs and not your tongue
Hi! Here is the video about "head down" equalization
th-cam.com/video/ew9SBCeAqbs/w-d-xo.html
When I equalize my ears sometimes my mask pops open a little and water seaps in? Has this happened to u? And also how to stop mask from fogging?
For the "mask fogging" question, check out this video th-cam.com/video/qcWoNTHDz8g/w-d-xo.html
For equalization - are you using Valsalva or Frenzel method?
hi should i practice my equalization if i have a sinus problem
Sinus infection?
When I equalize in deep water, I can't execute it properly because of the pressure on my chest. How do I fix this?
You just need more time to adapt to the depth. Dont dive deeper until this sensation become less intense
Do you need to equalize when your in like 5 or 6 feet deep in the water?
Every 2 to 3 meters you need to or when you leave ear start popping or hurting
Hi! Yes, as a beginner you need to EQ your ears as often as possible :)
So young~
Haha, I am still young! 😄
Is freediving equalisation same or similar to what happens when ur on a plane? Thanks for the awesome video!
The idea is the same, but equalization in Freediving a bit more complicated since pressure changes faster :-)
I learned while researching the Frenzel that some people use it for things like planes because it's a similar situation where air pressure changes quickly. I hate the feeling and it hurts, so whenever I next go on a plane, this will come in handy. But like the OP said, the difference is greater when descending underwater. Cheerio 🖖🏼
When im free diving i can equalize my ears but my lungs feel very compressed. Is this something you can get used to or am i doing something incorrect
Hey Matt! How deep it happens? And how long are you practicing Freediving? Are you diving with the full inhale?
Crystal Freediving around 30 feet. I was going full inhale swimming down with just a mask
Crystal Freediving also i dont practice free diving but i work on a lake and dove for a customers phone. 2nd time this week makes me want to start practicing haha
The feeling has to do with your chest and diaphragm flexibility, as well as your ability to relax.
Cold water, fear, bad equalisation technique all affect your ability to relax.
Seek out a freediving course and you'll quickly learn how to improve your ability, and you'll discover that diving to 10m and more can be easy, totally relaxing and very comfortable.
But it's like I can't put pressure up my nose with my tongue, why can't I do it?
Hello, my friend has been free diving for many years. We are pretty skilled and he has no problem getting down to about 27m comfortably. Approaching 30 and beyond, he loses ability to equalize. Are there some techniques he can focus on for this?
It sound for me as a common problem - a freediver not able to take some air from lungs and shifted it to the nasal cavity for equalization. In fact, it happens with many freedivers around the same depth, 27-35 meters
Thabls for this, could be like 3 min! And you could acrually tell what tour feeling and whats going on when you plug your nose and do....... w.e your doing.... you pushing out against your plugged nose? Or trying to pump air up using your throat..?! Thanks though
Yes, nose should be pinched
@@KAIZENFREEDIVING yeah still hurts my ears....! It never used to when I was younger... I could do a huuuuge dive of the high dive and go all the way down...15 ft deep, no problem.. now I do a double back flip and as I roll back underwater only like 7 ft and it hurts😫😑 and when I blow like this it seems to make it worse..! Its 20 F here now I must wait 8 months to try again😏
why is it hard for me to equalize in a vertical position? please help I am very frustrated.. if you equalize the position of the head above it is very easy to equalize..
It is a common problem...the video about how to fix it is coming up soon!
I'm waiting sir
Busy teaching at the moment...hopefully next week I will do it!
ok thanks for your attention sir
I can only hear pooping sound in my one ear. Does it need to be both of your ears? Thanks.
Hi. Yes, need to be both ears. But quite often one ear equalized easier than the other
why is it that i can only equalize on my right ear and not the left?
It happens often that one ear can be easier to equalize compared to another one. Just keep working on your EQ technique :)
No problem from coming close to the camera, your face is not ugly ;)
Haha, thank you😁🙏
Why does my ears hurt sometimes when I equalize?
Try to equalize more often
When I pinch my nose only my 1 ear will sound. Is it normal?
Difference between left/right ear equalizatiom is quite common and probably can be explain by anatomical difference of eustachian tubes
@@KAIZENFREEDIVING ... Can this problem be fixed and if so - how?
Maybe you have some link to amother video explaining this?
When i try to equalize only one ear is equalized and other one is not equalized.Pls help
It is quite common. Eustachian tubes can have differen shape/size/flexibility...just keep working on dry EQ
@@KAIZENFREEDIVING Thanks i though it was my sinus.
@@ghostmanik9567 I thought that this was uncommon. Seems a quite common proble..
my problem is when the head is facing down can't equalize
th-cam.com/video/ew9SBCeAqbs/w-d-xo.html
This video will help you to fix it!
When eq-ing like this, is it possible to rip your eardrums? And how should I equalize when rising to the surface?
You don't need to equalize on your way up!
Crystal Freediving Really? Wow didnt know that, thanks for letting me know!
@@KAIZENFREEDIVING why. When i go up my ears have pressure in them and i cant hear very well
@@martinlukac3313 MartinACRT when you going down you need to add extra air to your middle ear to avoid ear barotrauma. But on your way up this air will expand and come back to your nasal cavity. If you have any uncomfortable sensation on your way, there is a big chance that you have an inflammation in your ear. Might be because you not equalizing correctly on the way down. Need to stop diving, and 100% avoid trying to EQ your ears on the way up. By doing so you are just one step away from damaging your ears....
when I dive down to the 5m mark my goggles suck in around my eye socket, how do i fix this?
Are you diving with swimming googles? If yes, please dont do it, use a mask
@@KAIZENFREEDIVING oh ok, thanks
@@KAIZENFREEDIVING Also one more thing, I cannot equalize my ears at all. I do the and practice but I don't hear the popping, and the pain remains. Could it be the way my ears are designed, or something else? Thanks
Can you equalize your ears on the surface?
@@KAIZENFREEDIVING yeah when I do it on the surface, my ears make the popping sound(I use it during road trips when we change elivation). but in water, its a different story
Καλησπέρα φίλε μου.....μετάφραση στα ελληνικά μπορείτε να βάλετε για να σε παρακολουθώ στα βίντεο που έχετε......Σ ευχαριστώ πολύ.
..🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I doubt it will work. When we add subtitles in English - we edit them. No one can edit in Greek unfortunately:(
I swear my ears just don’t equaliser
Practice will make it better!
I just came here to write that I wont watch this video because its 8 minutes. You need to get to the point in the beggining... Good luck
Hi! It is an old video, check out the new one on the same topic. Hopefully you like it
