Neither me or my instructors ever used a snorkel in my PADI OW or AOW class. I actually brought one for my first AOW dive (DPV) and my instructor told me to get rid of it, as it would be detrimental. I guess not all PADI instructors follow their rules about snorkels.
I carry one of those Avid folding snorkels in a pocket on my belt. I think I've used it once. It's a terrible excuse for a snorkel, but then again, I don't have much need for one.
