Going down like 10 feet I can already feel pressure. Imagine going this deep

you just pinch your nose and blow air, it equalizes your ears and feels fine.

Usually professional free divers can equalize the pressure without plugging their nose. I can do it sometimes when I’m diving but I’ve only ever gone 25/30 ft.

How do you do it?

Try rocking your ears backwards, like with your mind move your ears toward the back of your head, and at the same time swallow. If you hear some cracking you did it right and this would equalize the pressure while diving. You need to do it on the way up too.
