Wow.....what a DB
You have basically described diving with my fiance. She has real issues with equalizing but once she is down, she is fine. She started diving Docs Pro Plugs and they made a great difference and now we just descend slowly, go back up a bit if needed while she equalizes and massages her ear (in front of) as she goes. I think the longest I have seen her take is about 5 minutes to hit about 40'. I still got to dive while waiting for her to equalize.....I got to watch her, look around her, I got to float in the water column......then we dove
