About this dive site
This dive site, known as the Kraken, offers a unique experience. The vessel was intentionally sunk 67 miles off the coast of Galveston to create an artificial reef. Due to its nature as a wreck and potential for challenging conditions, it’s important to acknowledge that portions of this site may require advanced diving skills and experience. This could include familiarity with deep dives, wreck penetration, or even technical diving techniques. Always prioritize safe diving practices and dive within your personal skill set. The specific challenges at the site mean divers should be prepared for potentially complex conditions.
