Features

1st Stage

• Travel-Ready: the reduced size and weight makes the Helix Compact the ideal choice for travelers
• Auto-Closure Device: prevents corrosive water out of the first-stage inlet by automatically closing as the core is removed from the cylinder valve. This prevents internal lubrication from washing away
• HP/MP Ports and "T" Shape o 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
• Yoke or DIN: available in yoke (3,300psi/232 bar max.) or DIN (4,350psi/300 bar max.)

2nd Stage

• Pneumatically Balanced: Pneumatically balanced for smooth, easy breathing
• 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
• Prevent free flowing: the in-line ergonomic Venturi knob lets you make precise adjustments, even while wearing gloves
• Comfo-Bite: comfo-Bite mouthpiece is soft yet sturdy and reduces jaw fatigue with its unique palate bridge

What Our Experts Think

• Inspect for Leaks – Check both the first and second stages, hoses, and connections for any air leaks or damage.
• Lubricate O-Rings – Apply a thin layer of lubricant to the O-rings to maintain a proper seal and prevent wear.
• Dry Thoroughly – After rinsing, ensure the regulator is completely dry before storing to avoid corrosion.
• Store Properly – Store the regulator in a cool, dry place, avoiding extreme temperatures and direct sunlight to maintain optimal functionality.
