Third day with Boris.

Third day with Boris.
Meeting at 7.30 o'clock, beginning of the pre diving procedures.
All it' ok , up to the test of negative pressure.
The SG unit and mine, lose from the connection of the inspiration hose.
After various attempts, we realize that the Orings must not have greased , otherwise they to go out of their center and to damage it.
Changed o ring, all ok, the test at the end doesn't take very more time of a test with any unities, if done following the procedures.
Duive 20 meters Ramon Membru wreck
Check bubbles in 6 meters and descent on the bottom.
Skills:
bailout
long hose breathing with buddy
manual fly primary
manual fly secondary
manual fly hud
Allarm disable
SCR
Flush diluent and check PO2 sensor
Sensors disable
Hypoxia drill
Hyperoxia drill
Hypercapnia drill
Partially flooded drill
Hose clearing
Rebreather off and bailout
Bailout ascent
O2 rebreather

100 minutes dive and NO problems.

At the port washing and control unity.
Theory with procedures for possible malfunctions.

My confidence in the Boris and the pleasure of dive with it increases of time in time.
Note: I have changed the original mouthpiece Poseidon, with a spare of my MEG.
Another story, best breathing and any pain to the jaws at the end of the Dive.
It's a unit with the great potentialities, perhaps the best on the market in this moment, with some things in progress of setup.

Perplexed from: Manual injectors of O2 and diluent - hard and diluent with low flow
choice of the batteries - rapid consumption
Fragile structure
connection jack of the sensors - I have some ugly memoirs on the reliability of this connection
Laboriousness to change the sofnolime, asks for time, calm and space, I would see complicated change it on a normal boat diving during a navigation

Not to the height of the unity:
practically any accessory, not even a key to open the batteries compartment VR3
Cylinders painted in the garage
labels HUD lost after 2 dives

An exceptional rebreathers, however and I am happy to possess the two rebreathers that personally I hold the best on the market in this moment.

I appreciate the Boris for its characteristics of endless redundance, facility of breathing, everything behind
I appreciate the Megalodon for hits sturdiness, simplicity, safety and facility of breathing

Two rebreathers to perhaps be used for differents objectives

You excuse me for my language and thanks for your attention.
It is difficult for me to express some concepts in English and at times the sense can result wrong

PS. These are personal opinions and I don't perfectly know still the unit, I wanted only to share with you my impressions

I can organize in may some try dive in collaboration with my Instructor.
If you are interessed please contact me

Best regards

Aldo

Thank you,Aldo!
For me its more interesting to hear your impressions,all do its just your first impressions and thing can change for the better or worse ......but to me that is much more interesting than what considered right and wrong by people allready sold on the unit....
Thank you for your report and dont worry to much about language issues.....most of us coming from other countries out of UK and the US know more than one language and that is a true blessing

Keep up the good work
