Answer
Roy,
I tried looking around to locate a source for the ProSub dump valve. Try contacting ProSub (www.prosub.com) and asking about any dealers located near you. If there is not a ProSub dealer close to you, try going to a local SCUBA shop. Many of the dump valves are "generic", as they will fit onto several brands of BCD's. Your local dive shop might be able to replace the broken valve with a different brand that functions just as well as the original.
If you still can't find a replacement dump valve, contact me again, and I will dig around for some more ideas.
I hope this helps,
