I found a silicon mouth piece where you can talk and be heard in close range, call the AquaVox. It has no electronics and allows your 2nd stage reg to be attached. It's no longer sold anywhere but I found a contact who can sell them to me for $100 each. Will try these out unless some one else has already done so and can provide their experiences good or bad.
