I noticed that when I do shallow dives, close to large structures, rocks and such and my depth changes are around 10 to 15 feet. My ears become harder to equalize. I was wondering why this does not happen when I am free diving. It seems only when I fluctuate my depth.
When looking for lobsters or hunting while on scuba near jetties and such this is when I have experienced this. I try to stay at one depth the majority of the time, but the hunt sometimes draws me up or down. For some reason this doesn't really bother me when I am free diving.
First question has anyone ever encountered this problem?
Second is why do you think it could be less of an issue while free diving.
