Re: Argonaut News and Update

Fri Jun 13, 2014 1:17 pm

First Argonauts were dropped off at Seminole Plating yesterday afternoon. I plan on picking them up late next week and begin assembly on the 23rd and finally on to their new homes as quickly as possible :D :D

Fundable backers that did not purchase a regulator have till the 23rd to let me know if they wish to purchase one from this first run or not.

If any are left on the 23rd they are up for sale to the VDH folks who want one :D Delivery for any sold after the 23rd will be late July or first part of August. If you are interested please send me an E-mail. [email protected]

Do these come with the Kraken demand valve or will they be an optional extra?

BTW, they look cool :)

Can't wait to get a Kraken for adventures below the surface.
Red Kraken with harness and BCD system look great.
So as previously stated, "Let the Kraken Loose", and let the good times swim on..... :D :D

Can I have the honour to be the 1st user in Malaysia ?

I love the part where "no one piece of the kraken will be the same as another"

This phrase reminds me on how they built the infamous Nissan GTR. Every engine is built by 1 assembler at a time.

I'm drooling over this despite being new to dh

I can picture it now. People all over the country sitting in their lawn chairs out by their mail box, extension cord running from the margarita blender into the garage, wearing straw hats to ward off the sun, and just hoping upon hope their cardboard box with the spearfishing squid on it will be delivered before their spouse realizes what they are doing! All very exciting!
