Underwater pumpkin carving in Charleston, SC

It’s safe to say these divers are bringing a never before sea-n skill to the table.

You’ve seen pumpkin carving, but have you ever seen underwater pumpkin carving? We came across this upcoming event at the South Carolina Aquarium on Instagram and we couldn’t wait to share it with y’all.

On Fri., Oct. 21, your favorite aquarium divers are headed to the Great Ocean Tank to showcase this spooky skill. If you’re anything like us, you’ve probably been to the local aquarium quite a few times, fascinated by the diving team + the shows they put on, but this event takes that fascination to a whole new level.

Did you know that the Great Ocean Tank is the deepest tank in North America? It holds a total of 385,000 gallons of water.

We can’t wait to sea these divers’ creations next Friday at 11 a.m. Grab general admission tickets or become a member.
