Then, follow them underwater as they navigate the snorkel trail, pointing out interesting wildlife along the way. Pose with your Pumpkin as a Photo Pro snaps pics throughout the dive!

Keep costumes ocean friendly please!  Don’t forget that costumes should not get in the way of your scuba gear and cannot harm the reef or marine environment in any way.  Be sure to secure or leave behind any parts of your costume that are loosely attached.
