Underwater Pumpkin-Carving Contest


Underwater pumpkin carving seems even a couple of notches less practical than underwater basket weaving, yet plenty of sporting divers are going to turn up in La Jolla for this 20-plus-year-old event .

Nobody takes it very seriously — one year the panel of judges was the staff of a local dive shop, the next year five kids off the beach — but it's always a fun party, and the surfacing jack-o'-lanterns are mighty impressive.

Even though the bulk of the action takes place below sea level, the event is still fun to watch.
