The Vortex is a technical diving regulator that lends itself well to cold, deep, and extended range diving. It configures nicely with sidemount and twin cylinder systems. The outstanding performance is a requirement for the Vortex to be branded Highland.
Suitable for cold water use in water temperatures below 50°F / 10°C
Compatible with EAN40 right out of the box
Available with DIN or yoke connection
Comes with a custom designed Miflex braided hose. Miflex hoses are lightweight and extremely flexible
1st Stage: • A 5th port located on the end of a swivel turret allows for optimum hose configuration for sidemount or twin cylinder setups • An external, secondary diaphragm keeps water out of the main spring chamber preventing ice buildup • Heat exchanger ribs, integrated into the main body, provide added thermal protection, minimizing the chance of freeze-up • Two high-pressure ports allow for use of a computer transmitter along with an analog back-up gauge • A black chrome finish, with a high quality PVD coating on the heat exchanger, means that the Vortex regulator is durable and prepared for all environments
2nd Stage: • Pneumatically balanced for superior breathing performance • An adjustment control knob allows the diver to dial in the inhalation resistance • An integrated venturi lever allows the diver to shut down the venturi assist when the regulator is out of the mouth • A Comfy-bite mouthpiece, with palate bridge, eliminates jaw fatigue • A heat exchanger warms the second stage valve providing effective freeze resistance • The purge button has a limited throw, minimizing the chance of a freeze-up • This second stage is fully reversible left/right using the conversion kit (see below) • Technicians will enjoy the convenient micro-adjuster located within the adjustment knob
