Something so small and light, you’d hardly notice it’s there that was the goal that led to the new Helix Compact. This regulator is designed for anyone looking to save space while maintaining the advantages of a full-sized regulator. It offers unparalleled comfort, breathing ease, and function in a travel-sized package.

First Stage

• Travel-Ready: the reduced size and weight makes the Helix Compact the ideal choice for travelers
• Yoke or DIN: available in yoke (3,300psi/232 bar max.) or DIN (4,350psi/300 bar max.)
• HP/MP Ports and “T” Shape: 2 HP ports (7/16″) and 4 MP ports (3/8″), perfectly oriented in a “T” shape for streamlined hose positioning, reduced exhalation effort, and sending bubbles out of your field of view
• Braided Hose: A braided hose provides flexibility, comfort and excellent transportability
• Standard Aqualung Parts: since it uses standard Aqualung components, your local dive shop can more easily service it

Second Stage

• Pneumatically Balanced: Pneumatically balanced for smooth, easy breathing
• Comfo-Bite: Comfo-Bite mouthpiece is soft yet sturdy and reduces jaw fatigue with its unique palate bridge
• Optimize Your Opening Effort: With the “Mini/Maxi” adjustment knob, you can increase the opening effort, ideal for avoiding freeflow at the surface, or lower the inhalation effort, reducing the work of breathing

Diving Regulators:

Diving Regulators are the life support equipment involved in Diving.
Their purpose is to provide air to the diver at exactly the same pressure as the water, in order for us to breathe. The technology is fairly simple and the designs haven’t been changed in years.

Some regulators do however, breathe better than others.

A top of the line Regulator would be one that has a diaphragm first stage and a balanced second stage.
Medium range, would involve a balanced piston system with either a balanced or unbalanced second stage and Entry Level is an unbalanced piston first stage with an unbalanced second stage.

Don’t fall for the marketing reading a regulator – the basics are: is it balanced or unbalanced and does it have metal internal parts.
