- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 11 Oct, 2025 at 08:00 am – Sat, 11 Oct, 2025 at 05:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Y-kiki Divers' Annual Underwater Pumpkin Carving Contest is back—and it's one of our most wildly anticipated events of the year! From spectacularly spooky designs to pumpkins that… well, at least float—this underwater showdown has it all. With fierce (and funny) competition, awesome prizes from generous vendors, and a commemorative t-shirt and lunch included in your event fee, you won’t want to miss this gourd-geous day.

Bring your own pumpkin(s), carving tools (sorry, dive knives are a no-go), and a bag to haul out those pieces-parts. Gear up with your own scuba setup if you can—our rental stock goes fast for this one! Need gear? We’ll do our best to hook you up.

Since dive season’s still going strong, take the Underwater Pumpkin Carving Specialist class early to sharpen your skills and earn another shot at a Specialty Challenge ticket—your chance to win a Garmin MK3i!

Non-divers are welcome too—because everyone deserves some fall fun, pumpkin spice vibes, and a shot at the land-based carving contest!
