Y-kiki Divers' Annual Pumpkin Carving Contest is a much anticipated and well-attended event every year. The competition is stiff, and the results are magnificent (sometimes). With donations from various vendors, you have the chance to win fabulous prizes, and your event fee covers lunch and a shirt commemorating the fun. We even have a non-diver option so everyone can enjoy the day. Register as a non-diver here.
You provide your pumpkin, pumpkin carving tools (no dive knives for carving, please), and a bag to collect your pumpkin's guts. We suggest using your own diving gear since our rental stock usually gets depleted for this event, but if you do need to rent something, we'll do our best to accommodate.
PRIZES will be awarded for:
Best Overall Prize - a ScubaPro MK11/S270 regulator! (A $608 value!)
Second Place Prize - a Garmin inReach Mini 2 with Dive Case! (A $430 value!)
Third Place Prize
Best Overall Pumpkin by a Jr. Diver (10-14 years)
Best Overall LAND Pumpkin
All divers will be entered for a variety of door prizes!
