Was the equalization problem he had just plain old equalization issues? It seemed to happen at the same depth each time. Any significance to that?

Apparently he was fine up to that depth which would indicate that this depth was his barrier depth for equalization. When you reach certain depths you have to get rather creative in finding ways to equalize, ex..flooding your sinuses with the water. If it was due to a sinus concern, I highly doubt he would have been able to reach those depths. Deron Verbeck said the same thing had occured to him. He was doing something wrong that prevented him from going beyond that barrier depth. It sure was awesome to see Joe reach his target depth though, he was definitely excited. By the way, Tanya Streeter IS as energetic and motivated as it showed. She does have a genuine interest in helping everyone reach their potential.mdsd:Was the equalization problem he had just plain old equalization issues?

You too use a heart rate monitor to watch your HR while dreediving. I use my HRM as a training tool when doing all of my workouts and as a way to monitor my HR in retrospect after diving. My HRM downloads the information to my PC where I can look at what my HR did during my dives. While I haven't mastered what to do with my feedback, I do find the HRM an excellent way to control cardio workouts for maximum effectiveness and a great tool to monitor your heart beat during resting periods. Lance Armstrong has a resting heart rate of somewhere around 28-30.
