Is Oceanmaster Still Around? I found this weird website...

[archman]

That clear, flex snorkel is not an Oceanmaster snorkel. It looks like an XS Scuba snorkel (who bought out Oceanmaster). The XS are slightly simpler in construction and not as good in my opinion but they're still pretty darn nice, and at half the price of an actual Oceanmaster a solid deal.

Found my unused 1994 Oceanmaster Dry Snorkel unopened in its original Ziploc polyethylene bag. Here are the snorkel instructions printed on a folded in two piece of white card.

Timely. I came across this old snorkel marked OceanMaster and missing a clip.

Can you recommend the best alternative clip you found that I could obtain quickly? I'd like to have it as a spare for an upcoming trip.

Thanks for the info.

The original snorkel keeper has a split in it so that it has a sprung grip on the snorkel tube, it is not a solid ring. I expect that it is fitted before the mouthpiece and top valve are assembled to the snorkel, hence you may have to remove one of them and most likely the top valve body. Oceanmaster caution against taking the snorkel apart, so care will be required.

You just might be able to spread the snorkel keeper and squeeze it over the tube with the latter slightly compressed as the tubes are not completely rigid and have a slight give in them. Wetting everything will help.

Or this one which has a central split rather than on one side.

Thanks Pete. I believe I found the two piece plastic one on ebay that will get to me in about 10 days. It was cheap so if I can't get it on......well. The 26mm could be sent from China and arrive sometime in October.

In the meantime I did a checkout dive with this one from Amazon:

The snorkel is working fine. The keeper was ok.

Too bad they do not support their regulators.
I picked up a used 1st a while back out of curiosity. Opened it up and clearly these are unique with a "disposable" piston and seat configuration.
I contacted them direct via email after a futile search otherwise and they responded stating there is no service parts available.
As far as I can tell, these are made in Japan and are Bism brand.
Its in a box JIC I find something.

Maybe Farallons? So much nicer than today's "tupperware".

I like their Z2 purge mask with the X strap but they stopped making it.
