SCUBA Leslie and Deep Diver Paula were at
Louise, which is one of the flooded iron mine pits near Crosby, Minnesota.
What were they doing on this 48 degree day? Answer: Suiting up to carve
pumpkins. It is an annual event.
|
 |
Nine divers got in the cold water in an attempt to outdo each
other by carving a pumpkin.....UNDERWATER!
The outing is sponsored by the
Minnesota School of Diving in Brainerd.

Yes, hand signals are used underwater because voice
communalization isn't an option.
|
 |
It wasn't long before Josh Marcum came ashore with his
pumpkin. Others followed shortly.
|
 |
Meanwhile, food was being prepared on a BBQ to warm the cold
divers. Not THAT warm!
Things sometimes get a bit out of hand over the fire on these trips.
|
 |
Hungry divers were happy for the nourishment.
|
 |
Then it was time to post photos on Facebook and tell lies
about how things went underwater.
|
 |
Jerry Swanson's was judged the scariest! Paula's looked
more like a fish with a large mouth.
|
 |
Happy divers showed off their Halloween Pumpkins.

Paula's pumpkin will be at the entrance to Gilbert Lodge on Halloween. Mark
