You can hear him equalizing in the video. I believe he's on this board... or used to be.

He uses Frenzel to clear and recently had his eardrums removed to make it even easier to clear at depth. Big wave surfer too.

Used to be - haven't been on here in over half a decade. Just back on to look for new fins - broke mine the other weekend. I still dive - just don't get online anymore, but wanted to let you guys know that I'm still alive. Thanks for the props btw.
