OK, at the risk of being thought of a bit of an idiot, I'll post this anyway, some of you may get a laugh out of it.

I've only recently figured out how to pack, using the cheeks, but can't get it working in reverse to reverse pack. I've been practising negative pressure dives for a little while and found another method to reverse pack.

After I exhale as much as I can, I press my lips together and make what can only be described as a farting noise !
I guess it is using the cheeks also, I just can't seem to exhale past the normal point any other way. When I do this in the pool, I can empty enough so that I can no longer equalise normally at about 4m depth. Probably not as effective as other methods but it's working pretty well for me.

Now at the public pool so people don't see me as "the wierdo making farting noises" I do this underwater. I'm sure there are some confused swimmers - hearing really long farting noises in the water ?! :duh

if you can resist the urge to breathe open your lips a tiny bit more to stop the noise if it embarrasses you.
