The situation you described is normal for a properly tuned primary 2nd stage. Put the reg mouth piece down in the water when not in use or plug it with your hand or tongue if it free flows before you get it in your mouth.
The Mares 2nd stages have no manual adjustment, but rather what they call vortex assisted design (VAD).

Diving sucks. Don't try it.

They called themselves Guerrilla Divers.
Composed of elite divers with Macho mentalities, back when men were men, and FEAR was a lispy companion of the common Man. It was a time before insurance liabilities, lawsuits or beauracratic regulation of the "sport".
Guerrilla divers didn't need "Buoyancy Compensator Vests". In fact, "Anyone who needs a BC deserves to drown" was a popular adage.
Exploration and the Hunt came first, excitement and fun followed. Safety was the stepchild of fitness, good reflexes and a cool head.
This was a time of great Adventure.
HELP SUDS and Wounded Soldiers learn to DIVE!
