Hi Chris.
Thanks for your comments. Actually I buyed one cheap, in new condition and factory serviced. The course will be done later in autumn but of course I want to make my own experience so far, not intendet to dive it until the course.
So it's not necessary to remove the head after every...
OK friends, I got the unit yesterday, make a dissasemble and reassemble. I was told it's easier than the Boris to set up , so far I cannot confirm.
To reach the O2 sensors the whole unit must be stripped down and to open the head all hoses must be taken off.
Now my question: how often do you...
Could not resist to order a second hand Sentinel in good as new condition & factory serviced. So after be proud owner of Ouroboros, I will soon be also a Sentinel diver.
I'm really courious. I dove the unit already last year, but never assemble or dissaemble it so far. I will post my exploits...
I sell my home build SF2-Like ECCR with Shearwater controller.
Unit has 150 hours, not a single problem.
Complete with BCD, tanks: 4000€ without tanks , bcd, wing: 3500€
Pics can be send by e-mail. I try to post a few soon here.
Cheers,
Would be great comparing these 2 leaders on the recreational market.
The MK6 is an Eccr, so an advantage in decompression, means longer no-deco time and you can fit any bottles available at different dive centers. Also travel weight seems to be unbeatable.
Price of Explorer is barely 1000...
OK thanks for information.
Just one more thing. I understand that the Explorer is developed from VR Technology (Kevin Gurr) for Hollis. Is the unit manufactured at VRT in UK or at Hollis in USA?
What about support in Europe? From VR Technology?
NO, I need a back plate to fit my drysuit inflation, that's all. With this unit no other dives are planed as recreational. For deeper and more I will use the Boris.
OK, sounds good. But dry suit is mandatory. When I get the chance to test dive this unit I will do it. But only with back plate & harness, not the OW BC...
So far I found in Europe only Vobster Quay in UK as reseller and intructor. On next dive show in January I will have a closer look on it...
How is trim? Similar to Dolphin, means loads of lead on top of the unit or in/at harness?
Also WOB similar to Dolphin? Or better?
When unit available in europe I will consider a try dive...
Hi folks.
Could somebody provide the technical datas of the Explorer? If possible in metric (KG, Meters...). What's the price on continental Europe? 5000 €?
seems to be similar to Halcyon Cinch. Also a neat solution I will consider.
Just seems to adjust, the CCR must sit otherwise it's to heavy to adjust. Or will it be enough to bend over?
I want maximum comfort getting in and out.
yes of course with a ss back plate. Just want to know if that Apeks harness is worth the money. I must order it in UK and cannot "see & feel" it before.
I'm gambling with the idea to fit this harness on my boris. Anyone had an experience with it?

I send my Ouroboros back to service 6 months ago and get it back in good as new condition. So far the service was top notch. Hopefully this will be the case in future.
