Question
hey i have a problem with equalizing on land about 95 percent my right ear pops but under water my right almost never pops i been to a docter and they told me to take nasonex and claritin.my left ear always pops can you help me with this? thanks

Answer
Hi Zak,

You probably don't need pills, but to change your technique.  If you can clear on land / on the boat, you can clear underwater.  Clear at the surface, clear when you put your mask on your face, clear just under the water, and keep clearing BEFORE you need to.  Always Be Clearing.  This works for most everyone.  Never force it!

Have fun, dive safely!

James
