Hi,   buddy breathing is possible with an old type " Mistral " regulator,
single stage using a mouthpiece, so why not with a rebreather ? With some
practice it should be possible to avoid flooding the loop by handling the
mouthpiece the right way during exchange.

                                                                  Gil.
