Performance Diver catalogs offer a contraption called "SCUDA"
(Self-contained underwater drinking apparatus).  It's a twelve-ounce bag
containing fluid that hangs off the regulator hose, and is connected to a
special mouthpiece via some plumbing (which includes a valve).  By
squeezing the bag, you can inject the fluid through a duct in the
mouthpiece.  It's one of the most rediculous-looking things I've ever used
on a dive (my friend couldn't stop laughing for about 5 staright minutes
the first time he saw it), but it's good for staying hydrated on the
decompression line...

Aloha,
Rich
