Vortex Regulator
Designed for reliability in demanding conditions, the Vortex Regulator delivers smooth airflow and effortless breathing—even at depth. A go-to choice for cold water and overhead environments, this reg is as tough as the rest of your Highland setup.
Built for Sidemount, Doubles, and Demanding Dives
The Highland Vortex Regulator is designed to handle tough diving conditions, whether you're using sidemount or twin tanks. The first stage includes a swivel turret with a 5th port, making hose setup clean and efficient. A special outer diaphragm helps keep water out of the internal parts, and heat-dispersing ribs help prevent freezing in cold water. It’s ready for enriched air (EAN40) right out of the box and comes with a lightweight, flexible Miflex braided hose. With two high-pressure ports and a sleek black chrome finish, the Vortex is a solid choice for both recreational and technical divers.
Highland Masks
Compact, Clear, and Built for the Mission
Highland offers two premium frameless masks that are purpose-built for divers who value performance, clarity, and compact design—whether you're exploring deep wrecks or packing light for travel.
The Dark Water Mask is tailored for technical divers who need a low-volume, ultra-clear lens and a snug, streamlined fit. Its split silicone strap stays securely in place, and the frameless design allows it to fold flat, making it a perfect backup mask for advanced dive setups or stowing in a harness pocket.
On the other hand, the Outer Limits Mask offers a more universal fit that comfortably seals on a wider range of face shapes, making it ideal for recreational divers, shared gear kits, or those who want a go-to mask that’s easy to pack and dependable in the water.
NEW! SlimTrim Weight Harness
The SlimTrim Harness delivers a sleek, low-profile design thanks to its innovative dual-channel weight pockets, which hold up to four pieces of lead per pocket and position the weight snugly against your body. Loading is quick and secure with Highland’s Catch n’ Release™ system—just slide the pocket into place and listen for the satisfying “click” that confirms it’s locked in visually, audibly, and by feel.
This streamlined system offers a total weight capacity of 42 lb (19 kg).
You can fine-tune your in-water position with fully adjustable vertical weight placement, helping you achieve optimal trim and comfort. The harness features a durable HDPE (high-density polyethylene) yoke and waist structure that evenly distributes weight and eliminates pressure points. For maximum strength and durability, the harness webbing is sewn directly to the HDPE base and reinforced with stainless steel rings.
Technical Gear. Elevated.
Highland is XS Scuba’s premium line of technical diving equipment, designed for divers who expect more from their gear.

Since joining the XS Scuba family in 2008, Highland has expanded into a full suite of backplate systems, harnesses, reels, jonlines, and accessories—all purpose-built to meet the demands of advanced and technical divers.
