I realize that you are all sold on the unit because you caughed up the cash for it and training to go with it but I am curious how you guys find the Boris to dive..... I am aware of all the technical strongpoints,great scrubber and so on but there are a few things I wonder. I have never dived it myself and I am not criticizing it.I do have dived with people that dive it and here are my questions.I am not trying to make enemies here,I might even be interested in getting one for my self one day
-Dont you find the long hoses being a problem?
-Can they be shortened?
-Are you happy with the harness that comes with it?
-Can you take that off and use a standard backplate with webbing.
-Is it a bad thing that you cant mount bigger onboard tanks?
-Could it be possible to live far away from the servicecenter (tropical island on the other side of the world) if something starts to malfunction?
-Most Borisdivers I have seen have quite a "seahorse style" trim...(yes,Instructors too)..is that something one gets use to or can it be avoided?
- How is it to penetrate with...does it feel bigger (higher)than other competing brands?
-Is it more of a "expedition rebreather" than a "swimaround in wrecks" rebreather" Where trim can be sacrificed for more important advantages?
-Is the cover tough enough for bumpy speedboatrides and dodgy trollies on crapy piers or are you always worried it will crack?
- Have you had problem with any part of the electronics?
-Do you like the HUD?
How is it to load the scrubber,travel with and set up for a dive?
Many questions but it is very expensive and all user info is very valuable to me.
Cheers for your thoughts,views and time
Best regards
