This is an amazing little first stage. I use it on a 13cf pony. The size is smaller than you think but the ports are spaced appropriately. The workmanship is spot on with no complaints. Now for the important part breathability.. it flows very well I have paired with a quick disconnect and have used with both an older decor and a new cressi both worked well and also tried with my ocean reef ffm.. no complaints in any way breathability is good. Quality far exceeded expectations.

Great little pony reg. Compact and durable.
The Highland by XS Scuba Compact DIN First Stage is a non-balanced, reliable and simple flow-by fail safe piston design that is factory set at 135 to 145 psi (9.3 to 10 bars) intermediate at 3000 psi (200 bars) cylinder pressure. The compact low-profile first stage is manufactured from durable marine grade brass with a chrome finish has one high-pressure port and two low-pressure ports. Regulator comes equipped with a 200/300 bar (3000/4350 psi DIN connection which can be quickly converted to a yoke style first stage with the addition of an optional spin-on yoke adapter. To protect the first stage when not mounted on a cylinder a Delrin DIN cap with lanyard comes standard.

will this reg be suitable for hookah diving with a 20ft hose in a swimming pool?
MICHAEL G
n terms of performance it will be no problem. I use mine down to 70 ft and it works effortlessly.

Is this a sealed regulator and can it be used in cold water 35 - 50 degrees?
MICHAEL A
I too use it only for my ponys. Nice and small, and I run my ponys unside down strpped to my main tank in back so the reg is at the bottom. Doesn't hit anything. Its not touted as a cold water fist stage and I wouldn't use it exclusively as such. As a pony baling out of a situation from cold depth to a warmer thermocline is the only way I consider it ok for cold work.
MICHAEL G
This is not a sealed regarding. It is a flow by piston reg, and water enters the chamber to compensate for pressure change with a change in depth.

It works great on my pony tank that is attached to my main in 59° fresh ( the coldest I've used it ) to 87° salt.
But as an ice diver I don't think I would use it in anything around 50°. I personally would ONLY use higher end equipment. Hope this helps

It's not sealed. I wouldn't recommend as a main first stage. It doesn't have enough LP ports for a standard set up. It works great for a Pony since it's t small and streamlined.
