Just direct the bubbles from your reg to your eyes...and wear a ball cap to keep them there.
I can't see anything but blurry outlines without my mask. In S&R we have to ditch all of our gear and surface. Then we have the option of going back down for it (11'). Whenever I do that I go for the blur and hope I grab and follow the right hose to get to my reg. It reminds me of the days before my RK (pre LASIK corrective eye surgery). I can't tell it's my reg in my hand by looking at it. I have to feel it. And this is in a pool. Also, I can't open my eyes in all pools because of the chemicals - they burn too much. I've tried opening them in the ocean, but the salt burns too.
