That is possible, but I don't think the design of the exhaust diphragm is 
anything unusual in the SEA.  It is a farily large second stage, so its 
possible that the verticle distance between the mouthpiece and exhaust 
port is fairly large, but I would have to look at it.  

As much as I like the breathing of my Poseidon, they are expen$ive to 
maintain, and lots of people (myself included) have had trouble with 
them.  

On the subject of Poseidon trouble, my Odin seems to be breathing VERY 
wet, much worse that I remembered.  I have replaced the mouthpiece, and 
in the theory that the housing might be warped, I have borrowed another 
housing, which I have yet to try out.  How dry should expect the Odin to 
be when I have it working correctly?  Thanks.
