Here are the Rules for the First Annual Sealancers Pumpkin carving contest.

Rules:

*Bring your own pumpkin and carving equipment*

1. All divers must be paired in buddy teams - no solo carvers

2. Teams may carve either one or two pumpkins, only one award per pumpkin

3. Pumpkins must enter the water un-marked and un-cut

4. Carving is finished once the pumpkin reaches the surface after being submerged

5. Any carving tool is allowed, but all carving devices must be secured to the carver while being used

6. Teams should have a bag to bring removed pieces of the pumpkin back to shore - minimize our footprint

7. Participants must carve pumpkins in the sandy area to the north of the end of the pipe - this is to facilitate safety and judging

8. Pumpkins float - plan for an extra 5-10 lbs of buoyancy - see rule #4

Final safety note, pumpkins can get slippery, please have a pair of gloves to wear while carving.  Expensive dive gloves are not required, the cheap rubber dipped gloves that can be found at the big-box hardware stores or walmart garden center will work. 

The club also has a few of the new T-shirts in stock, and we will have a pre-order sign up at the dive on Saturday!
