Florida Keys Underwater Pumpkin Contest 2022
With pirates, traditional Halloween creatures and denizens of the deep in mind, a creative group of scuba divers submerged 25 feet beneath the surface in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary Sunday to carve subsea jack-o’-lanterns during the annual Underwater Pumpkin Carving Contest in waters off Key Largo. Underwater artists of all ages used dive knives and other carving tools to transform their orange gourds into spook-tacular Halloween jack-o’-lanterns. The next contest is scheduled for October 19, 2024 in Key Largo.
