Snorkel Valve?

I have lost a piece to my snorkel, and am not sure if there it can be replaced or not. It is a little plastic disk that is (or was as the case may be) on the bottom of the snorkel. Does anyone know if this is a common part that is easily found or not?

Sorry to say but last time I looked for snorkel parts it was an exercise in futility. Hopefully you can have more luck than me.

What you're describing sounds to me like a diaphragm.
I'm not sure if it is but it's not something you'll typically find as a replacement part.
Probably because the manufacturers think it'll be easier for you....and more $$$ for them if you just replace the entire snorkel.

While I'm sure that is a standard valve, finding one may be more trouble than it is worth. What brand/model are you talking about? You might as well give an authorized dealer a try just in case. I have found Scubapro snorkel pars at a larger Scubapro shop.
