UNDERWATER PUMPKIN CARVING CONTEST
25th Annual Fund Raiser for the Edmonds Underwater Park
October 27th, Saturday at 11:15
There will be two divisions for the event:
1) Scariest and 2) Funniest.
There will be a briefing and rules review at noon. Standard diving equipment and checking in and out with the Beachmaster is required. PUMPKINS ARE PROVIDED. The depth will be about 25 feet and the time limit is ~45 minutes.
Pumpkins are vented and soaked prior to the dive so they are less buoyant. Bring some extra lead to make sure you can get them to the bottom. Any knife can be used but it must travel safely to and from the beach. You will dive as a buddy team, if your buddy can’t make it, we will find one for you at the beach.
The judges for the contest will be grade school kids. Pumpkins are provided or you can bring your own.
Tickets are $10. You get to keep your carved pumpkin at the end of the contest.
The money raised supports the volunteer effort at the Edmonds Underwater Park as all off shore improvements are supported by donations. Recent donations have implemented new diver trails, buoys and two new features.
Sign in at the beach from 11:15 to Noon. We start the briefing at noon. Parking is limited, arrive early!
Prizes will be suitable to the Holiday Spirit and Diving.
Since 1987 Underwater Sports has contributed generous prizes to this event.
QFC at Westgate in Edmonds provides the pumpkins and treats.
Please come out and support the parks on going all volunteer effort!

Because I'm a geek, and because I'll take any excuse to get wet, I'm carving a pumpkin at 25 fsw! Should be fun, and a good excuse to use my new Blue Tang. 
My buddy's bringing his extensive photo setup and is gonna capture some pics of me hacking up the pumpkin. Outstanding!
Anybody else going?
