Details of Aqualung Pack Regulator Helix Compact Pro DIN with Octopus
You don't have to be big to make a big impact. That thought inspired the Aqualung Pack Regulator Helix Compact Pro DIN with Octopus, the smallest and most compact regulator Aqualung has ever produced. This amazing piece of technology is designed for both warm and cold water, making it perfect for water sports enthusiasts who travel, minimalists who pack light, and even local divers who simply want unmatched performance per weight. This Aqualung Pack Regulator Helix Compact Pro DIN comes with a Helix Compact Pro Octopus and its one-meter yellow hose. The Octopus is delivered unassembled so you can install it on the right or left side according to the requirements of training agencies.
Features
First Stage
- Travel-ready: its reduced size and weight make the Helix Compact the ideal choice for travelers.
- Automatic Closing Device (ACD): prevents corrosive water from entering the first stage inlet by automatically closing when the cylinder valve core is removed. This prevents the internal lubrication from deteriorating.
- Permanent dry chamber: The dry chamber protects internal parts from damage caused by water or contaminants, providing extreme durability.
- Available in INT (Yoke) (3,300 psi/232 bar max.) or DIN (4,350 psi/300 bar max.)
- HP/MP ports in a "T" shape, or 2 HP ports (7/16") and 4 MP ports (3/8"), perfectly oriented in a "T" shape for streamlined hose positioning, reducing exhalation effort and directing bubbles out of your field of vision
- Braided hose: a braided hose provides flexibility, comfort, and excellent portability.
- Standard Aqualung parts: since it uses standard Aqualung components, your local dive shop can perform maintenance easily
Second Stage
- Balanced system: for smooth and easy breathing
- Optimize your cracking effort: with the "Mini/Maxi" adjustment knob, you can increase the cracking effort, ideal for avoiding free flow at the surface, or decrease the inhalation effort, reducing breathing work.
- Cover opening channels: The wider opening allows water to pass laterally over the diaphragm, preventing free flow in strong currents and reducing cracking effort.
- Avoid free flow: the ergonomic in-line Venturi control allows you to make precise adjustments, even with gloves.
- Comfo-Bite: the Comfo-Bite mouthpiece is soft yet durable and reduces jaw fatigue thanks to its exclusive palatal bridge.
