About this contest

Certified scuba divers take their pumpkins and dive knives out on a one-tank boat dive near Hawaii Kai and carve their jack-o'-lanterns on the sea floor. Divers can also enter a costume contest, and the day wraps up with a Halloween potluck barbecue back at the shop.

Compiled from the original listing (oahuscubadiving.com), checked Sep 28, 2026. Dates and details can change, so always confirm with the organizer or event website before heading out. Spot a problem? Let us know.
