The original questions were:

Did you have to obstruct regulator exhausts or does it work as is? What
about the nose, I guess the mask is doing the trick. What was Bill's comment
about the shower heads (it would not work with a Poseidon?)?

   You have to admit that the technic you suggest is conter-intuitive, But
hell, if it works, I'll be the first one to use it if I ever have to. 

Enjoy!
