Ouroboros Review

***Louby Lou*** · 26th December 2005, 12:34

Hi All!

Just a quick post to let you know that Ron Micjan's Review of the Ouroboros, affectionately known as the "Boris" has now made its way safely over from the old Rebreather World site and can be found HERE

It is a great article and has previously been published on Ron's site www.tmishop.com but Ron has kindly reproduced it here on Rebreather World.

Please use this thread if you wish to ask any questions, leave any feedback or comment on Ron's article.

Many thanks

Lou

I was going diving in Switzerland tomorrow but that has been cancelled so I am going to do a Meg Boris comparitive article if there's enough interest?

Cheers,

Dave Cooper.

Go on then Dave

We know it's just another way for you to rub it in for us mere mortals that you have enough money to afford a Meg AND a Boris

And yes I'll freely admit I'm just a bit jealous!

Seriously though it would be good to get an 'objective' view of the merits & downsides to both units in a head to head review.

Happy New Year to you & the family.

The Nowadays unit is a bit different

Sorry; as I am not fully knowledged up on the unit. I was unaware of this

All I have done is moved the article over from the old site. I will change the title to reflect this

Thanks for letting me know

Kevin refers to the "bulky" part as the military Ouroboros.

But the unit was indeed a prototype.

Dave, go right ahead with the Megloroboros article.

Hi Lou,
I gave Stuart,some time ago a CDRom with Boris Build Up, the actual version, to publish on this site.

Best,

Nad

Hi Nad

Yes, Stuart said he had received your disk; neither of us have managed to meet up yet so I can set it up in the library.

Hopefully we'll meet soon and we can get your article uploaded asap.

Many thanks

Lou
