I love discussions over WOB, they are based on scientific studies resulting invalues that, well, scientists can understand. Me, I think there is one factor that is difficult to gauge and that's my 'feeling'. I 'feel' that the breathing charactorisics of an Ouroborus are different from any other rebreather I have dived over the past 8 years, my 'feeling' is that I will get used to the way the Ouroborus breaths and I have a 'feeling' that if I panic breath no matter what CCR will not give me enough gas.

The hydrophobic membrane sounds cool, I will probably buy one and if I don't like the way it breaths I will sell it. Kevin is a cool chap and I trust him enough to buy one of his CCR's but if I don't 'feel' right with it I will sell it, despite what the scientists say!

No you should not.

Everyone has the right to say what they feel here.

20 hours on a Boris is 20 more hours than someone who hasn't got one!

I took mine to 103 metres on Sunday and she breathed like a dream, unfortunately the viz in Lac Leman was shite and it was cold, however I dived with my mate Phil and having seen how good his Typhoon Icebreaker heated vest is, I ordered one today!

Cheers,

Dave Cooper.

Hey Guys
I was diving the kit on Sunday and after a ugly attempt to remove and replace my kit in a dry suit I flooded the loop because I wanted to keep my kit negative (opened and closed DSV). After I got the rig back on I cleared the water in the loop and finshed my dive. When I got home I opened the case and found that I had about a cup full of water in the canister and 1/4 to 1/3 of the sodasorb was flooded. It looked like wet oat meal. The piont I want to make is the hydropbic membrane worked awesome. I was very impressed with it's performance and I would highly recommend it to Boris owners. I also completed a open circuit bail out early in the dive so I know I put some water in the loop very early in the dive (opened and closed the DSV controlling the ascent) . The dive was 90 minutes, 80 feet of water, water temp 45 degrees. I only had a very very slight taste of the sodasorb.
Cheers Frankie
