Bring a pumpkin and carving tools. The IUPCA suggests a blade to open the gourd and carve the features and a tool to remove the contents.
Dive in pairs
We use the Helsinki Protocol for underwater pumpkin carving:
All gourds are submerged INTACT.
Minimum carving depth is 10 feet.
Natural elements (grasses, wood, rock) are allowed to be added, however no live capture (animals) is permitted.
Fabulous prizes for all categories!!
