Picked up a helpful tip from a diver in Louisiana about ear equalization
I was swapping stories with a guy named Roy after a dive in Port Fourchon last week. He mentioned he takes a small sip of water before descending to keep his throat open and ears clearing easier. Tried it on my next 40 foot drop and it actually made a difference for me. Has anyone else heard of little tricks like that to make equalization smoother?

A sip of water before descending, that's wild! I've never heard anyone mention that little trick before, but it makes total sense with the throat muscles relaxing. Definitely going to try that next time I'm at the quarry this weekend.

Does the water trick help with clearing your ears too @lauras83, or is that just for the throat?
