Yes, of course, but the rebreather DEPENDS on the exhalate to replenish
the breathable gas supply, so one is compelled to exhale back in to the
rebreather, a difficult thing to do when you don't have the mouthpiece in
your mouth. You'd have to hold your breath until you get back the
mouthpiece, exhale quickly, then inhale. Since you'll most likely be
ascending, I don't think it's a good idea to hold your breath while going up...
