JBL Spearfishing Hydro Seal Spearfishing Freediving Hydro Seal Aqua Plugs

I use these every time I Scuba dive to help keep water out of my ear canals when swiveling my head around to look at things. They help trap an air bubble in your ear canal when inserted above the surface, then hold it there (keeping sea water out) during your dive. They do not seal or plug your ear in a way that would create harmful pressure at depth, and are safe to use down to 130 ft depth (the deepest I have been with these on). I use a long strand of dental floss as a lanyard, with the ends tied to the plugs, to help keep them from floating away should one become dislodged when I jump into the water (has happened twice). I have used these aqua plugs on about 80 dives now and they have become part of my “required” dive gear. No more ear infections during dive vacations!!

All kidding aside, I don't spear fish. But I do bodyboard and didn't find anything that worked including silicone putty. Putty conforms to your ear's cupola, won't stay in, and needs continued pressure to seal. Started with the medium size JBL Seals then switched to large for a more snug fit. Blow out then insert the plugs as directed. Definitely feel a better seal with the large size, I do have to re-check/press the seals inward while surfing, but so far feel much less water in my ears overall. After surfing I rinse out both ears and apply two drops of swimmer's drying solution to each. So far no plugged feeling, no pain. So far so good...

These are great! Tried these in the pool last night and they worked like a charm! They did not let water in! The "ear ring" holds them in place within your ear lobe and you barely know they're there. I wasn't sure what size to get so I got both Medium and Large. Medium is right for most people as it was for me. Wish they had simply stated that the sizing is relative to the size of your outer ear and lobe, not the ear canal. Unless you have larger or smaller than normal outer ears/ lobes, medium will do. Looking forward to using these on our annual snorkeling trip to the Florida Keys!

I ordered the "largest" size and have relatively small ears. It did not fill my ear canal. I as afraid to use then in water. I believe they need to make at least 2 sizes larger. I would rather have them be too large and go down a size, than knowing their largest size was too small.

I bought thees because I did not know how to compensate the pressure on ears for "deep" snorkeling. It does the job, but I'll won't recommend it for diving more than 7 feet (my personal feeling). For deeper diving, there is no other way than to learn how to compensate efficiently. One way or another I had to learn how to do the ear stuff, It's not that biggie deal. So, do I recommend it?: Yes Any tips?: Put them on BEFORE getting on the water, and DO NOT touch them, relocate them, or get them on a more confortable position. Your'll have to do all that stuff BEFORE getting them wet. Otherwise some water will get into your ear and the sensation won't be so pleasant as wearing the dry.

Used it for snorkeling in Puerto Rico. These kept the water and pressure out of my ruptured ears perfectly and stayed in my ears during dives, surface talk, and going back in repeatedly. Kept them clean with soap and water easily and felt comfortable in my ears. I would recommend these everytime for a simple dive, not too deep.

I have multiple pairs and when I lost a set I was thrilled to find them on Amazon. Great product.. They keep my ear dry and do not fall out. I use them everyday in my swimming pool, and when I scuba dive. I have gone down over 100ft. And they are vented and work great! I won't dive without them!!!!

Absolutely fantastic.. Taking PADI Scuba lessons (5) on the 2nd class I developed swimmers ear. Got these and tried them at today's class. NO water entered my ears and I could hear every thing the instructor said to me on the surface. Well made. I got a large and they fit perfect. They were also very comfortable.
