{"product_id":"aqua-lung-helix-compact-pro-dive-regulator","title":"Aqua Lung Helix Compact PRO Dive Regulator","description":"\u003cp\u003eYou don’t need to be big to make a big impact. That thinking inspired the Helix Compact Pro the smallest and most compact regulator Aqualung has ever produced. This amazing piece of technology is equally designed for warm and cold water, meaning it’s perfect for jetsetters on the go, minimalists packing light, and even local divers who simply want unequalled performance per ounce. Designed and made in France.\u003c\/p\u003eFirst stage\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTRAVEL-READY: The reduced size and weight makes the Helix Compact Pro the ideal choice for travelers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eAUTO CLOSURE DEVICE: The ACD keeps the inlet shut to protect internal parts from debris and corrosive water when not connected to a cylinder valve. It helps to maintain oxygen compatibility, preserve internal lubrication, and keep the inlet filter clean and dry. This extends the life of the first stage between services.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003ePERMANENT DRY CHAMBER: Where there's no moisture, there's no ice. The Permanent Dry Chamber keeps internal parts clean and dry by isolating them from the outside environment. This enhances overall freeze resistance of the regulator when diving in cold water.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eOVER-BALANCED MECHANISM: Also known as Auto-Balanced, the Over-Balanced Mechanism overcompensates the interstage pressure to reduce your breathing effort. Regardless of depth or tank pressure, it provides effortless breathing from the beginning to the end of your dive. This results in superior performance at depth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eBALANCED DIAPHRAGM: Provides superior and consistent performance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eBLUE HIGH PRESSURE SEAT: It is the core of the first stage. The Blue High Pressure Seat opens and closes with every breath, forming a perfect seal with durable materials that work in all conditions and with all gasses. The working pressure of the first stage is automatically elevated to counteract the increased breathing air density.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eDUST CAP PROTECTION: Attached to the regulator body, the Dust Cap protects the inlet fitting and the Auto Closure Device from impacts and damage. It also seals the first stage when it's off the tank.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eHIGH PRESSURE\/MEDIUM PRESSURE PORTS: HP and 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eAVAILABILITY: DIN (4,350psi\/300 bar max.) and YOKE (3,300psi\/232 bar max.).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSecond stage\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCOVER OPENING CHANNELS: The Front Cover Opening Channels allow water to flow sideways over the diaphragm. The wide radial openings prevent freeflows when diving in strong currents and reduces cracking effort by 20%.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eVENTURI ADJUSTMENT SWITCH: The Venturi Adjustment Switch allows divers to precisely control and adjust the air flow. In the “MIN” position, the valve's assistance is minimized, resulting in a higher inhalation effort, ideal to avoid freeflow. In the “MAX” position, the valve's assistance is maximized, resulting in a lower inhalation effort. The overmolded elastomer and ergonomically designed lever allow control of the air flow even while wearing gloves.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eCRACKING EFFORT ADJUSTMENT: Cracking effort adjustment system allows the diver to fine tune the breathing performance of the regulator depending on the different diving conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003ePNEUMATICALLY BALANCED: For smooth and easy breathing at all depths.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eHEAT EXCHANGER: Prevent ice forming on the valve inlet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eCOMPACT DESIGN: Ideal for smaller faces, such as those of women and younger divers, ensuring it doesn't obstruct their field of vision underwater. Lightweight, it also reduces fatigue when held in the mouth during long dives.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eCOMFOBITE: A patented and comfortable mouthpiece featuring a unique palate bridge reduces jaw fatigue and securely holds the second stage in place.
