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 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

First 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

Second 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
