Seems like Nemrod Snark III's are the unloved child of the double hose world, occasional NOS parts emerge but generally no-one supplies anything like the reproduction parts that are available for the USD/Aqualungs, Voits etc...
Yet the Nemrod was the last one standing... lasting into the early 1990's with SEAL training units.

Nemrod closed its doors in 1998, on the Snark III as well as all of its other products. I was able to buy a factory new Snark III back in 1987, many years after the last USD/AL DH came off the line. If I were going to purchase a new regulator today with the forethought of using it for the next 30 years, I would probably go with a Poseidon Cyklon or Jetstream [Odin] an AL Conshelf 14 or an Atomic B or Z series. I am not too concerned about the polymer 2nd stages lasting the full 30 years, as I have a USD Conshelf SE that has already lasted more than 30 years and is still going strong.
