Highland - Vortex Regulator
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.

- Compatible with EAN40 right out of the box

 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:
- Pnematically balanced for superior breathing performance
- An adjustment control knob allows the diver to dial in the inhalation resistanceÂ
- 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 fatigueÂ
- 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
- Technicians will enjoy the convenient micro-adjuster located within the adjustment knob
