Swivel vs FixedThe internal structure of the fixed port design allows for a very direct gas flow through the first stage, providing optimal performance. However, the absolute cleanest hose routing is only available using the swivel turret design. Streamlined hose routing is a significant concern for experienced divers, where the swivel design can make a noticeable reduction of drag. The objection to the swivel design is that it adds moving parts to a more complex gas path, theoretically being less reliable and of lower performance. However, in our experience with quality regulators these theoretical concerns about reliability and performance are irrelevant. All the regulators offered by Dive Gear Express are high performance products with proven reliability, and the reality is that both these designs will more than meet your expectations. The choice is largely a matter of personal preference. In general we observe most technical divers tend to select the swivel design, and single tank divers tend to select the fixed port design. |
