pat fish,
i have the same happening to me. when i first started doing negatives, at a point during the descent, i always notice i'm going to swallow, and i can delay it for few seconds, but then it just happens, and i cannot do anything about it. the only thing i'm able to do, is passing all the air from the throat to the cheecks, so that when i open the epiglottis to swallow, i don't lose all the air, but just a tiny bit (because this urge is always coming when my mouth is not so full anymore, i can move air up and down as i like).
doesn't matter how many negative i'm doing (and i'm doing a lot!), but apparently practising doesn't change a thing.
i feel this happpening less during my deep diving, but only ( i think) because i don't do the mouthful technique very well yet, and so i'm refilling my mouth many times during the descent, opening the epiglottis many times in doing so.
cheers,
