How many hours do you have to do one one of those things before you can do a trimix course? I hear they are really good

50 hours to get the PIN to turn on the trimix deco.

Is that a feature of the eletronics that won't let you, or a manufactures choice that won't give it to you untill the fifty hours are up?

I think in principle it is a very good idea, but i'm sure that someone like yourself could 'handle it'.

Congratulations on your latest aquisition.

feature of the eletronics

unlocked by manufacturer (send them photo and they email you the pin code)

But in fact it was a good thing, out of my 300h on a 15.5 I thought I could handle Boris but in reality I was still under the learning curve at 65h

ok I went a bit deep at 66h

then back on the learning curve at 66h45min cf snoopyloop.com -> St Sauveur

No but a very famous english wreck diver who write articles thought about leaving it in a lake at -3m for a few days ... due to the cost of the unit he change his mind

Dr. Mike,
Congratulations!

It would be neat to see a comparison and your opinion of the two units when you get home and have had time to break in the unit.

Again, congrats and I look forward to the pictures and snappy commentary-

Yeah, like there is elephants behind me!

(That was incredible!)

Hey Mike,

Congratulations, in my point of view you did the best choice between the units actually on the market.
Last year Kevin came down here to Mexico to teach John Chatterton and Robin Bashor and and I had have the pleasure to guide him and assist all the classes. The unit really impressed me but with the tag price I still just dreaming about become a Boris owner.
I hope you enjoy your unit.
Cheers,
