First Stage Features
Balanced Diaphragm: The Helix Pro utilizes a balanced diaphragm, which is a key component in achieving optimal performance. This diaphragm design ensures that the airflow remains consistent, regardless of the pressure changes during your dive. It provides a steady supply of air, allowing for effortless inhalation and reducing the risk of breathing difficulties.
Yoke or DIN Connection: The Aqualung Helix Pro Dive Regulator is available in two different connection types: yoke and DIN. The yoke connection, also known as A-clamp, is the most common type and is compatible with standard scuba tanks. The DIN connection, on the other hand, offers a more secure and streamlined connection, ideal for divers using higher pressure tanks or diving in more demanding conditions.
HP/MP Ports and "T" Shape: The Helix Pro is equipped with two high-pressure (HP) ports and four medium-pressure (MP) ports, perfectly oriented in a "T" shape. This design allows for streamlined hose positioning, reduced exhalation effort, and the efficient release of bubbles out of your field of view. Additionally, the Helix Pro is compatible with up to EAN 40 right out of the box, providing versatility for divers using different gas mixtures.
Second Stage Features
Pneumatically Balanced: To ensure smooth and easy breathing, the Aqualung Helix Pro Dive Regulator is pneumatically balanced. This means that the internal mechanism of the second stage is designed to equalize the pressure inside the regulator, regardless of the depth or air supply. As a result, divers experience effortless inhalation, reducing fatigue and enhancing comfort during longer dives.
Comfo-Bite Mouthpiece: The Helix Pro features a unique Comfo-Bite mouthpiece that combines softness and sturdiness, offering maximum comfort and reducing jaw fatigue. The mouthpiece is designed with a palate bridge, providing a secure fit and stability while diving. With the Comfo-Bite mouthpiece, you can enjoy extended dive times without discomfort or strain.
Heat Exchangers: Diving in colder water conditions can lead to the formation of ice on the regulator's mechanism, affecting its performance. The Aqualung Helix Pro Dive Regulator addresses this issue with built-in heat exchangers. These heat exchangers help prevent ice formation, ensuring that the regulator functions optimally even in cold water environments.
Venturi Knob: Controlling the airflow of your regulator is essential for a comfortable and customized diving experience. The Helix Pro features an in-line ergonomic Venturi knob that allows you to make precise adjustments, even while wearing gloves. This easy-to-use knob gives you full control over the air delivery, allowing you to fine-tune your settings based on your individual preferences and diving conditions.
