Scubapro Mask Buckle

ofarrelld

I have a scubapro fino mask but I have broken one of the buckles for the strap. They don't seem to make them anymore and the newer masks have a different attachment. Does anyone know where I would be able to get one or even if any of the other scubapro masks use the same type of buckle?

Thanks.

scubastore.com have some scubapro spare mask buckles, under masks and then spare parts but i'm not sure if they would fit.

Thanks for the help, I wasn't sure about the scubastore ones myself. Now its just the excessive postage costs for something so small to contend with...

I, however, have a Poseidon mask which I love, but I lost one of the little pins that holds the strap on.

About an inch long, with ends thinner than the main part.

Bummer. I don't suppose there's any possibility of getting a replacement? Poseidon can't help.

I think most of those pieces from different manufacturers are pretty similar, might be worth looking at some spares in dive shops. Just watch out in case the buckle is broken somewhere you can't see without taking it apart, thats what happened to mine and I thought i'd fixed it but it fell apart again.

Maybe going to a jeweller/watchmaker would help? They have many different sizes of pins for watch straps etc.

Worth a try - let 'em see the good one on the other side.
