I never use the regulator to conserve air while on the surface so I think I will keep my snorkel from now on. You may never know when you will need it, you may run out of air and have to carry an unconscious buddy for a long distance! you may be submerged while carrying someone. So I think keeping the snorkel with you is worth the discomfort comparing the feeling of being ready for any situation.
