The winning contestants were brothers Sebastian and Gabriel Gimeno, who carved a dolphin into their pumpkin. Besides bragging rights, the brothers from Weston, Florida will receive a return trip to the area paid for by the event's organizer, the Amoray Dive Resort.

Sunday's competition took place near a reef roughly five miles (eight kilometers) off of Key Largo.
