How to sign up: Bring this completed form to the shop to participate. This event is for certified divers only.
Tips: You should pick up your tanks on Friday afternoon as the shop will be closed from 8-10 on Saturday morning so that we can staff the event. Also, be sure to check out the categories in advance and decide where you'll have the least competition or at least where your carving will fit in...and let your creativity flow!
