I made my own.
I had an old backpack, so I scavenged the 1" webbing and some of the clips from it. I also had some snaps and a snap tool that I had bought at Home Depot to fill in the gaps, so I didn't have to spend anything extra out of pocket.
The snaps are a little rusty, not stainless. I will probably go to MEC at some point and buy the required plastic fittings to replace the snaps. Pretty easy, really.
My brother showed up for a dive a few weeks back with a new GoPro, a head strap, and no chin strap. I grabbed some bungie out of my bag and a bolt snap and we quickly made a tether for him. It would not keep it on his head, but it would keep it from floating away and getting lost.
At the very least make a tether.

do you wear a hood?
Put the hood on, then pull the top part back off your head and put on your go-pro. Then pull the hood back on with the go pro straps under it. You won't lose your camera this way.

In New England yes, but I'm trying to get set up for a trip to the Turks and Caicos.

I wonder if these would work.
Wrap-Around Webbing with Female Quick Release End and Wrap-Around Webbing with Male Quick Release
FWIW, this would not work for me unless I trimmed the hood opening well back on the forehead to clear my mask. I don't know what kind of temps the OP dives in, but when I wear a hood here I want that coverage
Another option is to use a thin lycra hood to secure the GoPro OEM head strap mount. A thin hood can be worn OVER a neoprene hood to secure the head mount and the lycra hood provides excellent sun protection on the boat, before and after dives.
