Aharon Solomons explains freediving equalization - Frenzel maneuver

[@mantaszemleckas1809]

Why every freedive instructor doesn't teach it this way?? I was absolutely sure Im doing Frenzel until I saw this video and it made me realise that I was wrong. You are a legend! Thank you

[@RenatIndo]

Yes!)

[@nisablue]

Words are not enough to express how much help and hope this video has given me. I failed my first freediving course two days ago, cannot say I did not feel disheartened; I could not get the grasp of frenzel equalisation at all. Until this video. Thank you for making free diving a world for me to discover with excitement again. ❤❤❤❤

[@AharonSolomons]

🌹❤️🌺

[@AharonSolomons]

The second video explains my technique for equalising at depth and does not resemble the Fattah/Frenzel mouthfill.But as I say it will only be posted if there appears to be some public interest in this .

Aharon, you are an incredible resource. I cannot thank you enough for sharing your caring and deeply insightful videos. I've got a lot more confidence in mastering this skill having watched this. I've subscribed and look forward to anything you care to share with the world. We sooo appreciate your efforts!

[@angelatopping2576]

Greetings Aharon, I'm very interested to watch your 2 new videos. I hope you decide to post them.

[@antoniosampedro1383]

+Aharon Solomons What you Do is looking for practicioner good health and safety. Of course you should keep on doing that. Thank you

[@betchromebook5233]

hello Aharon, I cannot find the video < Further Tips if you are still struggling with Frenzel video , did you post it ? thanks :)

[@goldenbobyRL]

The best video so far on frentzel maneuver, a lot of video are too complicated. I look this video and I was able to do the frentzel maneuver in 2 days with very few moments of practice.

[@AharonSolomons]

Rodolphe Pottier thanks very much for your comments

[@Lehmann108]

I recently could not complete a FII level 1 course because could not equalize upside down with the Valsava technique. I had to turn, head up and really force the air. By the time I got around 10 meters I was all stressed out and basically out of air from the massive exertion to equalize. It was terrible. I could easily do a static apnea of 3 minutes, so I knew I had the capacity to go well beyond only 10 meters. So, now I am teaching myself the Frenzel and happy to see that I am not alone in being unable to equalize upside down with the Valsava.

[@Juxtapox]

This is the best video and instruction I've seen on Frenzel. I want to thank you very much for this. Very very pedagogical. I will contact you through your website, I've have a few issues with my equalization and tear canals. Thank you again, and I'm looking forward to more instructional videos.

[@yordanlilov]

Agree - it is a good video! And while watching I realized that air is going out of my left eye: is that what happened with your tear canals? If so, how did you solve that? Closing eye works for me, but are there any other solutions?

[@Juxtapox]

@@yordanlilov Yes, air is going out from both my tear canals. I've been to many doctors and they can't do anything. Closing my eyes works somewhat, but that takes effort and I can lose focus when diving. No other solutions unfortunately.

[@Kalwedo_Spearfishing]

You are the super COACH .... 🙏🙏🙏

[@11cima]

Out of all the videos about equalization, this is the best and has helped me the most

[@albertocarrion9351]

So far the best explanation on how to the the Frenzel, easy to understand, easy to follow, thank you very much for doing this video

[@thedonsolatorio4545]

I just played this video twice and I now can do a frenzel EQ. Thanks much Aharon. You teach with calm and clarity.

[@AharonSolomons]

Thats you not. me , well done

[@gadispieler]

תודה רבה . עכשיו סיימתי אידה 3 בפיליפינים . ואז המדריך האיטלקי סיפר לי עליך . זאת המתנה האמיתית . אנשים חכמים מסבירים דברים מסובכים בפשטות . תודה רבה על הטיפים המדהימים שלך

[@stephanedolais623]

Amazing!!! Nobody told me that before : I have 3 instructors so far and I just finished the PADI FREEDIVING LEVEL 1.

[@thebigblue4352]

My CMAS instructor failed to teach me the Frenzel, i ended up pushing too much with valsalva and had my eardrum perforrated. Thanks for explaining further abt the right technique.

[@57jmahoney]

Excellent ! I've taught various subjects in public schools, outdoor schools...for 25 years and I thought I was a good teacher, and knew what a good teacher was. This instructional session blew me away. Rarely are my expectations exceeded. They were here. Thank you for a well done, thoroughly covered and easily understood explanation for the frenzel maneuver.. You have now given me hope to try free-diving again and take a course. A million thanks, keep up the good work. J, Mahoney USA

[@ivyflorevirsande7168]

thank you sir! Raymund Sande here from the Philippines!

[@TchenYAYER-je2mz]

Dear sir, just simple is ok ! It worked for me after lots of dives between 10 and 15.... And suddendly here i am at 30 ! Time and observation ! Thanks Aaron ! Great teacher of all ❤!

[@MarcoRestaphotography]

Great video, Mr Solomons! I was actually sure I was using Valsalva but then I realized that I could equilize with my mouth open wide...so...it's Frenzel (in Italy also called Mercante-Odaglia) Also thanks for the other advices, looking forward to the advanced video. Greeting from an Italian (beginner) freediver!

[@giorgimania2982]

THE BEST equalization of technics I've ever seen.

[@aarons6332]

after trying this method for so long, watching videos and doing read ups and only failing.. after 7minutes of your video I can now do the frenzel maneuver. thank you very much!!

[@098751thg]

One of the best training videos I have ever seen period. This is how you teach something. Thank you very much, thank you, thank you.

[@AharonSolomons]

Thank you forkind words

[@paulhunt8218]

This totally changed the way i dive. Thankyou for putting together such a professional tube...

[@halfcalf72]

Demonstrating that you should be able to frenzel with your mouth open was KEY! Thank you! I think I got it now. And just like you said, I did not pass my PFI course because my right ear became a problem that valsalva method could not equalize.

[@jdawson38]

I really enjoyed your Frenzel explanation and I think I might get the hang of it. Someone mentioned to me that you pronounce an hard "G" sound as you're performing the Frenzel maneuver. Others say a "K" sound. Whenever I do that I feel tense in my abdomen, which makes me think I'm just doing Valsalva. In any case, you've given the best explanation with a great sense of humor and I'm optimistic that I might finally learn this damn thing.

[@drsl621]

It is the second day of my first freediving training and I managed to tackle the skills after going through the video clip twice - THANKS so much.

[@taavikivirand6064]

Thank you. Amazing explanation skills. This is the best Frenzel equalization video in internet!

[@sai-kitloves2937]

OMG, Aharon,THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! I was getting mad and frustrated for another couple of weeks after watching your video. I did learned the tongue block and how to use the tongue as a piston. Looking into the mirror helped SOOOO MUCH... But for whatever reason, I just wasn't getting it. All of a sudden, OUT OF NOWHERE, I got it... I'm so stoked!!! Just absolutely unexpectedly, I got it!!! I need to practice this in the ocean now!!! I was not able to equalize head down throughout my FII level 1 course, I had to have 2 make up beach dives. And I ended up, diving head down, stop, position my body horizontally, head up, equalize valsava, then dive again until I feel pressure in the ear, then repeat the process. I was only able to reach a depth of 30'. I'm so excited and look forward to practicing this in the ocean.

[@AharonSolomons]

Thank you

[@miguelfuentes440]

Lo mejor en frenzel que he visto.gracias por ser tan didáctico y agradable

[@sergionara3306]

Aharon, tks a lot to put this video, I had never ever seen a video about Frenzel tecnics with large explanation, rich in details. 35 years of practing scuba diving maybe avoid me to understand the right way to equalize. Since switch my desire to freediving, I've been figured out the best ways to control and higher the breath, 3,5 minutes in static and increasing. But the snages change when we are acting and you provide me a hint of some problems I had. I'm waiting restless the second video. Great Aharon

[@77easy77]

i saw and heard many people teaching frenzel, it always seemed like rocket science and couldn't wrap my head around it until i saw this video and thanks to you I can dive now because as you said valsalva just doesn't work for freediving and it didn't even work for scuba for me so frenzel was the way for me to dive at all. thanks so much Mr. Solomons I love your raw way of explaining, it's so effective :D

[@MrLatharen]

I think this video finally helped me to do it, especially the part where you're showing the tongue movement 9:51 ! I found it much easier to learn while watching my tongue, having my mouth open.

[@robinr7218]

Never been able to do frenzel, watched heaps of video... I just watched this and i immediately corrected my faults. I should have learned this before damaging my inner ear. Great pedagogy ! Thanks a lot

[@thomaswagner5061]

Thank you for this very instructive video! I think I managed to learn frenzel from your video, at least on dry land. Still have to carefully try it in water. I just did a freediver course here in Sweden, but only used the common vasalva maneuver that I alreday learned as teenager diving in lakes back in the 70's. The frenzel was not tought in the course. At the course, I had some difficulties equalizing at depth no more than about 10 meters using vasalva, diving by pulling down a rope.

[@AharonSolomons]

Let me know how this goes for you

[@BoldInterventions]

Thank you so much for posting this video Aharon, I found it to be truly helpful and presented very well. I'm certain that this is going to improve my ability to equalize. All the best.

[@denniseagan1540]

Thank you Aharon. Initially I was using the tip of the tongue so I might be falling back to an old bad habit. I'll focus more on relaxing and try to be more aware of the back of the tongue. Many thanks.
