“Love the ocean but not keen on the crowded seas filled with superyachts? Explore the depths of the ocean instead with this submersible - get the private ocean you deserve.”

— Original DockTease description.

“What do you get the billionaire who has everything? No, after the megayacht. That's right, a small, deep-water submersible to go on the back of their megayacht. The only drawback is no one's gonna be able to see how rich they are when they're down at 10,000 fathoms under the sea.”

— DockTease description.

The Kraken Kraken is a sub-aquatic vehicle exclusively featured in the enhanced version of Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online.

Design

Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online

The Kraken appears to be quite similar to the Submersible, particularly its bright yellow color and construction. It is based on the Triton line of miniature submersibles, namely the Triton 1000/3.

The submersible is made up of a main cabin, with a large bubble-shaped glass canopy at the front end. As opposed to its real-life counterpart, the Kraken has its overall shape altered to a more boxy design. On either side of the cockpit are two engine units, with headlights facing forward on each one. The hatch door is located at the top of the cockpit.

The interior features two main consoles with various gauges and two independent sticks.

Performance

Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online

The Kraken is faster and more maneuverable than the Submersible, given the twin propellers. However, despite the store description suggesting that it can go much deeper than other submersible vehicles, it has a similar depth limit of only 500 feet (152m) before being crushed by the water pressure, instantly killing the occupant.

Trivia

General

• A Kraken is a legendary sea monster of giant proportions that is said to dwell off the coasts of Norway and Greenland.
  • It is one of the seven vehicles named after a mythical creature, the other six being the Banshee, the Phoenix, the Hydra, Valkyrie, Chimera and the Leviathan.

Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online

• Like its real-life counterpart, the Kraken's glass canopy is completely bulletproof, specially reinforced for underwater environment.
• The Kraken's headlight beams are not aligned with the actual headlights, as they appear to be projected slightly to the right of the headlight housing.
• On either side of the entrance hatch, there is a mixture of numbers and letters that read "4R53", Leet synonym for "ARSE". This writing is also present on the Submersible.
• Although there is no interior dials listed in the files, the gauges are just variations of dials found in basic aircraft. The same applies to the Submersible.
