A big thumbs-up for the Sea Cure mouthpiece! I wish I would have gotten one sooner! I'm not one of those who bites or chews their mouthpieces, but I like having the mouthpiece traversing the full length of my teeth. It feels more secure and my jaw is in a more natural position on long dives, eliminating jaw fatigue. The other cool thing about it, is that it's a little longer than the standard mouthpiece, so it keeps my reg's exhaust from constantly being against my chin, which, on longer dives, can become a source of irritation.
The only knock on it, is that the directions say not to immerse the portion that attaches to the reg, but I found that it was impossible to attach to my reg without softening it up a little, so I immersed that end of it for approximately ten seconds, just enough to slightly soften it up, and voila: It slipped onto my reg with no problem. All in all, the whole process only took about a half hour, and I feel that it's one of the best things I've done to improve my comfort.
