A “Scuba Santa” entertained the crowds while swimming with the underwater residents at Aquaria KLCC aquarium in the Malaysian capital of Kuala Lumpur on Wednesday.
To the delight of visiting children, who watched him through the glass and took photos, Scuba Santa fed rays and turtles and floated with the fish to celebrate the Christmas festive season.

Adventure Aquarium is offering a visit with Scuba Santa
One of my favorite places in New Jersey, the Adventure Aquarium in Camden, is offering a visit with Santa in a COVID-safe experience with their “Christmas Underwater” event. This will be the 12th year of the celebration.
The display features the world’s tallest underwater Christmas tree as well as the world’s smallest underwater Christmas tree. The main attraction, however, is “Scuba Santa,” who will be diving, swimming, and waving with the hammerhead shark, stingrays, and sea turtles in the Ocean Realm and stopping along the glass to take selfies with customers. Between dives, Santa will also be available for socially-distant visits with kids in the Magic Snow Globe area.
CAMDEN, New Jersey Families can dive into the magic of Christmas at a unique underwater experience in Camden, complete with a visit from a scuba-diving Santa.
The Adventure Aquarium s Christmas Underwater display has returned for its 12th season, delighting visitors with the world s tallest underwater Christmas tree and a special appearance by Scuba Santa, all in a COVID-safe environment. At the Adventure Aquarium we love to be a part of family s traditions during the holiday season, this year especially, said Jenna Eckel, public relations manager at the Adventure Aquarium.
In addition to meeting Scuba Santa behind the Ocean Realm s panoramic window, where he swims around and waves at his fans, families can also participate in a socially distant meet-and-greet with Scuba Santa, who holds court inside his Snow Globe.
