I am about to join my Department PSD Team and I went out with my captain and a few other people to see what it's like to dive with our Aga masks. I love the fact that its full face but I ran into a problem as I descended. The first twenty feet swallowing was enough to equalize my ears but after that the squeeze was on. I never have had this problem with a normal mask because I have the ability to pinch my nose and clear my ears. I tried the jaw side to side and nothing, i tried the tongue to the roof of my mouth and swallow same result. In order to clear my ears I had to stop my descent, ascend a few feet and swallow really hard then I could continue on down but it was a total struggle. I know that our masks have a nose piece that can be adjusted and Ive been told if you adjust it right you can then push on the front of the mask hard enough to clear your ears. I start my PSD classes on the 10th of July and really don't want to have problems during the class. Just wanted to see if any one you experienced guys have any suggestions. Thanks in advance.
