Location: Lake Ouachita in Hot Springs

Yes, that's right. We have a yearly pumpkin carving contest underwater of course  Sure, it's silly, but we have done this for many years and it's loads of fun while the lake is still fairly warm and before we put the boat to rest for the winter. Carve the best pumpkin you can "underwater" and maybe you will swim away with our "Underwater Pumpkin Carving" honors and a prize too boot. Everyone enjoys our Halloween treats & hot chocolate and some incredibly visibility this time of year! Call for more information!
 

Requirements:

• Divers supply their own pumpkins and carving tools.
  

• Pumpkins are to be opened and cleaned of all seeds and pulp before divers enter the water.
