Pressure equalization

The child dives headfirst to about 1.5 meters. As soon as they feel pressure in their ears, they hold their nose and blow gently through it to equalize. Demonstrate the equalization on land first. Important: water pressure increases with depth, and around 1.5 meters it becomes uncomfortable — equalizing must be performed to prevent the pressure from causing serious ear injury.
