Features

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

What Our Experts Think

• Rinse After Use: After each dive, rinse the regulator with fresh water to remove salt, sand, and debris. Avoid fully submerging the first stage.
• Dry Thoroughly: Let the regulator air dry completely after rinsing to prevent moisture buildup and mold.
• Check for Leaks: Inspect for air leaks in the hoses, connections, and regulator stages. Tighten or replace any damaged parts.
• Inspect Hoses and Mouthpiece: Ensure hoses are free of cracks and the mouthpiece is secure and in good condition.
• Store Properly: Store in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight and extreme temperatures. Hang it to avoid pressure on the hoses.
• Annual Servicing: Have the regulator professionally serviced at least once a year to maintain its performance and ensure safety.
