I have traveler's ear which means the "pinch nose" methods do not work. I was able to pass my OW PADI certification recently by descending slowly.
Since I am unable to equalize per se, my ears seem to adjust as I descend slowly. Does it make it more difficult the deeper you go or is the biggest concern around 15 - 20 feet and then the body adjusts?
I have a Hawaii trip coming up and looking for dive options. I would hate to book a 60 - 75 foot dive and realize I can only handle 40 or so.
Thanks in advance to advice.
