Hi Alan, A balanced drysuit p-valve means that the pressure inside the tube equalizes during the descent and throughout the dive. An unbalanced valve means that as you descend, the air in the tube will compressed as with other air spaces. If you dont equalize you will feel a squeeze in the place that attaches to the tube, which can be uncomfortable to say the least. You can combat this by filling the tube in an unbalanced valve before your dive. If you have any other questions, please feel free to email me direct at augiej@diverightinscuba.com.
