dry ear diving

[priggs]

Has any one had any experience diving with the pro ear 2000
mask.

My wife has trouble clearing her ears. We have tried all methods. Thinking about the mask.

Thanks,
Phil

Yep, most newbies have troubles with equalizing, and most get better with training and practice.

Have you watched the video at;

It is very helpful in both understanding of how your ears deal with diving and ways to equalize.

I have no experience with the ProEar 2000 but I find that I can equalize much easier in my commercial gear (full face mask or helmet) than in recreational scuba gear.

Like many skills in diving, equalizing the ears gets easier with practice.

Another ear information link, this one from DAN:

They charge $25, and offer to send a certificate of completion.
