This was in this week's local fast food Coffee News paper.....
Water-Logged: These will be pumpkins that are a little water-logged, but it's all part fo the fun at the annual Amoray Dive Resort Underwater Pumpkin Carving Contest at the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. Every year, divers compete to carve the best looking pumpkin, and they do it five miles off Key Largo and about 30 feet down below the ocean's surface. Ken Smith, who won the 2007 competition with his wife Linda, of Sebring, Floida, says it isn't easy because the pumkins want to float. "You're working against your own buoyancy and that of the pumpkin."
Sounds like REALLY great fun....how do you keep from laughing and flooding your mask as you do this? I couldn't!!!!!
