Any Feedback on the OUROBOROS??

[mattmexico]

Yo all

We had Kevin Gurr here with 3 Ouroboros and two students, giving me a unique chance to have a close up look and introduction by Kevin himself.

The Ouro looked quite nice to me, yes expensive and yes complex. Complexicity can be overcome by training, practice and zero complacency. If I had the money back then I would have bought a Cis, if I had the money today I would buy a Ouro but don't know if I would travel with it a lot since it is quite big.

What really struck me is the seemingly never ending redundancy and bailout options in the Ouro, the detail and the finish of the unit, loved as well the out of the way counterlungs and the large scrubber with its patented spiraling no breakthrough device. It has such a number of nice features that it is playing in his own league since they are no more Cis to be had.

I have owned an Inspiration and I do own a Meg and Optima. I had the pleasure of diving a Cis Luna MK5 P single and dual CCR unit during the Wakulla II project. I think the Ouro is a great piece of diving equipment.

Nope, we are ProTec Mexico and I did not have the chance to dive it, just looking at the cookie jar, touching it, diving around it but no actual diving ...
