Kraken to launch 'Unknown Deep' Rum this October

Rum fans will be pleased to learn that Kraken has announced that it is launching a new limited-edition black spiced Rum called 'Unknown Deep', on 18 October 2020.

Dive Industry News and Matters
Kraken Rum

Kraken UK are collaborating with competitive freediver Beci Ryan, because the drinks company has announced that it is opening its first underwater ‘Dive Thru'.

Beci Ryan has been tasked to freedive the depths of the National Diving & Activity Centre in Chepstow, to salvage bottles from a treasure chest full of 'Unknown Deep' rum.

Project AWARE

There is an additional twist to this product launch—Project AWARE has teamed up with Kraken UK, and that's good news. The ocean conservation charity that encourages scuba divers to litter pick underwater and remove marine trash, has confirmed that a £1 from the sale of every bottle of 'Unknown Deep' will be donated to Project AWARE. Whilst this is a new initiative, it is not a new concept. Over the years, Project AWARE has teamed up with various non-diving partners to help raise funds and awareness about marine debris.

Distinctive Bottle

Alcoholic drinks bottles tend to fall into two camps. There is the straightforward, plain bottle. A practical ordinary vessel that holds the liquid, and does not excite or thrill you. Then there is the limited edition, exclusive, collectible bottle that catches your eye because it is so attractive. Some bottles are modern and funky, and some take their inspiration from historic flasks.

 

Get your hands on a Bottle

If you would like the chance of owing a Kraken Unknown Depth bottle retrieved from the deep by Beci Ryan, you should visit the The League of Darkness website. Simply buy a bottle and hit the 'claim' button. Your name will then be entered in the prize drawer. Alternatively, you can pre-order a bottle via Amazon UK on 18 October 2020.

A freediver went to sea sea sea⁠

To see what she could see see see⁠

But all that she could see see see was bottles of rum in the deep blue ... quarry

Technically Speaking

Simon Pridmore's aim in writing this book was to examine and record where technical diving came from, how it developed, how it expanded across the world, who the important movers were and how the efforts of a few determined people changed our little field of human endeavour forever.
