Green Kraken

Tue Mar 05, 2019 1:45 am

I know back in 2018, that there was a very small run of green labeled Krakens. I’ve only seen one pic, which wasn’t very good, so I thought I’d ask to see if anyone here had pics of theirs.

So, green Krakens anyone?

The above is from ScubaBoard, where I believe Bryan from hereabouts posted it in 2017. :)

Here's the URL of the thread where it appears: https://www.scubaboard.com/community/th ... 18.551827/

David, thanks for the reply. I checked out the thread, and it would be cool to see more of these.

I contacted Bryan a few days ago to see if by some slim chance he still had one. He didn’t, and said he only made 13 last year. I bought my Kraken last year from the late summer (August) batch, and wish I’d have known about these green ones. One would look great with a green Aquala suit.

Looks like I should have checked in here more often. I follow VDH on FB, but never saw them. I guess The FB algorithyms didn’t like me. 😀

Right Ron, how sweet would one look with green hoses, and a green Aquala? :-)

I made sure that I got the Green Kraken in 2018 and baptized it in Honduras. It was my 57 birthday present. :mrgreen:
