Passive opening of the sinus entrances and Eustachian tube is the ideal way to equalize pressure between nasopharynx and sinuses and middle ear. It is not always possible, especially during descent. Divers usually use an active technique which will inflate air in middle ear and sinuses when passive aeration is not possible. Modified Valsalva maneuver is the easiest to perform. It involves occluding the nostrils, closing the mouth and exhaling. Experienced divers also use Toynbee manoeuvre which involves swallowing with the mouth and nose closed or combination of both.
