Costume Contests<\/a>, scheduled for 5-10 p.m., on Saturday, Oct. 18.<\/p>\nThe event will kick off with a cookout at 5 p.m., followed by the costume contest at 6 p.m. The underwater pumpkin carving contest will begin with two boats departing at 7 p.m. in the Crandon Marina.<\/p>\n
Michael Casey, managing director for Diver’s Paradise in Key Biscayne, said two boats will sail out and each team member will dive underwater with their tools to carve a pumpkin.<\/p>\n
There’s no time limit but Casey said divers will be cautious to practice safe diving including air consumption.<\/p>\n
“We spoke about what we can do and it has been done before in other locations and has been successful,” Casey said. “Everyone had a great time and loved doing it but with a strategic plan including being safe as possible<\/p>\n
Casey said three people will judge the pumpkin carving contest and only one team can win.<\/p>\n
The prize for the winner will be Diver’s Paradise supplying rental tanks and gear for the team to go out for an entire day of scuba diving.<\/p>\n
“We’re trying to make it as fun as possible,\u201d Casey said.<\/p>\n
The winning costume will also win a prize, which Driver’s Paradise is wanting to keep as a surprise.<\/p>\n
There’s a $10 fee each contest.<\/p>\n
