Shopper How do you equalize with full face mask?
TERESA P Yes, OTS has a rubber bar (it actually comes with this bar in different sizes and shapes to make sure you can find one that suits you just fine) that you press against your nose to allow you to equalize. I own an OTS Full face Mask and this equalizing system works great!
Dan D The mask should have a bar that presses up against the bottom of your nose, right? I used an AGA with the disabled diving club I volunteer with in the Chicago area and that was what I used. Does this mask NOT have any physical means of holding your nasal passages closed?
LeisurePro S The problem, obviously, with equalizing in a full face mask is that you can't access your nose to pinch and blow. You can in fact teach yourself to equalize in other ways. Wiggling your jaw, or swallowing hard are both ways you can equalize without pinching your nose. it's best to start practicing on land, then you can practice a bit in a pool. Using a full face mask is definitely a new skill and something that requires practice before use in open water.
