The diaphrams for the tetratech deepwater pumps work on the old whispers I
do believe. Take your worn out one to the lfs and compare the size with the
tetra ones. I just repaired some old whisper 600's myself. I can check to
see what I used.

i have a 2 port whisper 600 second nature air pump that is giving out. i
opened it up to find wore out rubber cups. i went to my local fish store for
parts
and the owner told me they dont make repair kits anymore. ive since gleaned
my fish catalogs to no avail.
it just needs the rubber bushing cups!
a few years back i repaired a couple pumps.

what to do now?
