mine doesnt even fit...you have to hit the head to get it on the top and when you take it off it bends all the stainless pipework! And to get the lid off you have to practically take the thing to pieces.

Thanks for the writeup!

Looks like Hollis is going to have it's hands full here with these things.... it's seeming that Hollis is on a course set to take over these things.

Like the 'Boris, it's a complex beast, smacking of more than a little CIS Mk-5p influence. The 'Boris was a CIS Mk-5p married to a Mark-15, this is more a modern CIS with an internal CL. My guess is that it's not going to be a "long lasting" rig in the marketplace... complexity and price... etc.

just to add some more. I took mine for 2 weeks diving in Sri-Lanka and missed only 1 dive when the inevitable HP sensors went boom and said i had 400bar in my 2lt cylinders. It was only an 8m dive on a little wreck so nothing major missed out. Got back to the centre took off the HP sensors, fitted 2 gauges and all was good. Turned the HP sensors off in the set-up screen and i off i went.

The unit and its owner took a fair battering
