What better way to get in the Halloween spirit than by carving a pumpkin underwater? We asked our Facebook followers to share their underwater pumpkin carving experiences with us. Some divers said that underwater pumpkin carving is much easier said than done.
Angelo Villaschi tells us the pumpkins are “buoyant as heck.” It seems the activity of carving pumpkins underwater is best enjoyed in a group, as many dive clubs across the country host annual events and competitions. Take a look at some of our favorite Facebook submissions below:
