We often get asked about used snorkel equipment, like my snorkeling mouthpiece is broken, should I buy a new one? Well that depends. Is the mouthpiece on your snorkel replaceable? If the answer is no, unfortunately you need to purchase a new snorkel. The tabs on the snorkel mouthpiece keep the mouthpiece in your mouth and without the tabs, it is extremely difficult. When you purchase your next snorkel, read the description to make sure that the mouthpiece is replaceable. Another tip is to make sure that your snorkel is made of silicone versus rubber.
