Boris training with Greg Such

dab · 24th March 2008, 15:20

I just finished a week of training on the Boris with Greg Such. One of the most grueling weeks of training I've ever been through. Now I'm looking forward to getting more bottom time to really "set" everything I've learned. The Boris is an incredible piece of equipment and as hard as the training was, I enjoyed it more with each passing day ( I was ready to sell it after day 1....). Greg is presently in the Red Sea getting trained as a Sentinel instructor, he did a great job with our class.

Glad to hear you enjoyed the course with Greg.
Any words of wisdom?
I have to put up with him for a Sentinel course in a few weeks.

Glad you enjoyed the class and are liking the unit. I remember hating Boris after dive 1, but it went away by the end of my class.

I felt exactly the same way -- after day one I was wondering what I had gotten into -- but each day got progressively better and I was actually dissapointed to see the class end.

Get lots of sleep before the class, we had a few 16 hour days, and never less than 12 -- which didn't include eating or studying for the exam. You'll have a great time.
