Pumpkin Carving Contest...Oct 19th

[Skruff]

I'm thinking about giving this a try. Any tips from past years? I assume you can't mark up the punpkin ahead of time and then just do the cutting underwater???? I looked at the web site for Smith diving and don't think I could carve one of the winners on dry land, let alone underwater. I don't have a partner for the event so if your interested in giving it a try let me know.
