this fine old relic, a US Divers Bimini mask, ca 2001. A little dated (rubber skirt) but very serviceable as a practice mask. In excellent condition, except now I find that the left lens retainer ring has two broken tabs, and is not holding the lens on the outer/upper side. Maybe practice was its downfall since it was used mostly in chlorine pools, though thoroughly rinsed each time. I wonder if the soft plastic in the ring(s) got softened further by the chlorine.

Anyway, if you have a source for these, I'd appreciate hearing about it. I can't find it online, other than in a complete mask, which isn't worth the price asked ($20).

Repair solutions also appreciated; I'd like to avoid putting on a slime ring of silicone to seal the lens in if I can avoid it.

I'd post in the DIY forum and see if someone can print one for you.
 
This is a super common shaped mask. I bet if you took it to your LDS, they will have some hiding in their service room. I threw out a ton of these.
