You need to do all carving underwater on the platform.
You must take your entire pumpkin underwater with you.

Prizes will be given for:
Grand Prize – Best Overall Pumpkin
Best Scary Pumpkin, & runners up

(note: each contestant can win only 1 prize, so the grand prize winner will also be the “Best” in 1 of 3 categories)

SCAVENGER HUNT RULES
• You must work with a buddy to find items.
• Each team may retrieve two items (so that each buddy may have a prize)
• Do not retrieve more than two items.
• You will be given directions (coordinates & clues) 15 minutes prior to entry to allow you to plan your dive.
