After my course went straight to Red sea for 5 days on Boris.
Did some 80m+ dives and a few 100m ones.
observations so far;
1. Despite what I was told Boris does NOT weigh 32kg in its box...you have to take the backplate off if you want to fly it from uk (on the floor infront of check out
)
2. Hydrophobic membrane is a MUST unless you like caustic mouthwash
3. Be careful some badly fitted scrubber fins dont fall out when emptying fill
4. No auto setpoint switch makes it easy to forget to er increase and get more deco
5. Swims fine even on 3hour cont. swims with 2x12L stages and a camera
6. Easy to work on
7. Wet switch auto start gets annoying when cleaning or moving kit
8. With the little 2L tanks its easy to um er run out of O2 on big dives....
9. I love the electronics, the info you can see on the vr3 pages is really usefull.
10. Smooth internal bore hoses have significantly less gurgling and easier to clear than usual type
