Can you believe it's already that time of year again?? The leaves are falling and snowflakes are not that far behind. If you have kids, surely there has been hours of talk about and prepping for what they will be for Halloween this year. We're getting into the festive spirit with you and letting you know that Halloween doesn't have to just be all about the kids this year. Here are some fun ways you can bring your favorite activity, scuba, into your Halloween celebration.
4 great ways to have a Scuba-tacular Halloween:
1. Underwater Pumpkin Carving
Yes, this is a thing and a quite popular one in the scuba world at that. Dive stores across the country, come Halloween time, will be hosting Underwater Pumpkin Carving Contests. You'll gear up, dive down with pumpkin in tow and carve that pumpkin up underwater! Watch out...the fish love to eat the pumpkin innards. If you can't find a contest near you, get your buddies together and have one of your own!
2. Scuba Themed Halloween Costume

3. Underwater Costume Contest
Yes, these exist too! You can get the best of both worlds by dressing up in a diving-friendly costume and then head underwater for a great dive all dressed up. This always brings out the kid in us and is a great way to have fun with friends on Halloween. Find a store hosting one near you or gather your ghoulish friends to go it on your own.
4. Haunted Diving
If you're really into Halloween then you can plan a trip to a haunted shipwreck to celebrate. Some places in Bimini host haunted shipwrecks (think haunted house underwater) for some of the most daring divers. Other places like the Florida Keys host activities like treasure hunts for Halloween fun.
