You don’t want to miss Florida Underwater Sports’ annual underwater pumpkin carving contest. Bring one hollowed-out but uncarved pumpkin to carve on the bottom - we will have safety pumpkin cutters available for everyone. There will be prizes for most unique pumpkin, prettiest pumpkin and judges’ favorite pumpkin. Grab a coffee, a fresh donut, and head out for a creative beach dive. You can meet your dive buddies, try out new gear or just practice your buoyancy, keeping that pumpkin from swimming away.
