I am sure you have heard it before. But, I think the red hoses are what make the Kraken so identifiable. Good marketing idea. Just an opinion. I realize they are very identifiable by the cans.

Gosh-darnit Bryan, there you go again being all creative and such. Now there's something else I gotta be the first kid on my block to own. :D

Configuring the on board geiger counter has been challenging but it's going to be a Duzi of a regulator.

Just make sure the SATCOM link doesn't interfere with the side-imaging sonar array, virtual HUD or towed anti-shark ballistic defense system, including a refillable chaf deployment reservoir in a third horn on the cans. This is gonna be great! Mark :shock:

Is there a way to put a deposit down on one of the November Krakens? I finally have saved up and am ready . . . No more red hoses??

EDIT, now that I see the new color scheme, I like!! Black hoses will be perfect.

Just so there is no confusion, the regulator pictured above is one of 12 "Special Edition" regulators I am building that will have other unique and one of a kind items with it. The standard Argonaut Kraken will be available in November as well. It will definately come standard with the new DSV mouthpiece but I have not decided on exactly which hoses will be standard....But I can tell you that they will be black. Red is history for now.

Thank you for the kind offer but there is no need for a deposit. I have ordered, scheduled and paid for everything.

The color scheme above is for the "Special Edition" regulators only. The standard Argonaut Kraken will still be flying it's Silver, Black and Red main can label and the bodies will be chrome.

Chrome? Do tell...


EDIT: Never mind, I was thinking cans, not bodies. I'm just going to be quiet now.

Thanks Bryan, I really like the black and gold look of the special edition and that is the one I will get. Is there a way to be notified when we can purchase?

They will go on sale Saturday, November 26th around 6am EST. Price for the SE Argonaut Kraken is not set as it is still a work in progress and several of the unique items that come with it are still being manufactured. With that said, price of the SE's will be substantially higher than the standard Argonaut Kraken.
