I would have thought the diaphragm was covered. It is a normal part in service kits for Poseidon and Diverite regs. The diaphragm takes a set and can be difficult to remove without damaging it. It is a seal between the environment and the pressure regulating parts of the 1st stage. Whether it is or not covered the price is very reasonable. I would not use a used diaphragm unless I had no choice. I have made them for some older regs.

If it was a 2nd stage diaphragm certain bugs (Cockroaches) like to each them. Ozone can attack them or they can be damaged taking them out if they have set too long and become stuck in place. They have to be removed to do a proper service.
