So you thought the icy waters of the North Pole were too frozen to allow good old Santa to take a dip? Think again, as this year Father Christmas will be taking the plunge at one popular UK aqua park with a range of scuba diving sessions to entertain all!
For the delight of all children and the amusement of adults, a scuba diving Santa Claus will be entertaining guests at a popular UK aquarium during the holiday season.
It looks like fish will also be receiving presents from Santa this year as the fearless Father Christmas is braving shark-infested waters at the Blue Planet Aquarium at Cheshire Oaks to deliver gifts to a team of divers and hand out treats to fish residents.
The 3.8 million litre display will be shared with 3-metre-long sand tiger sharks, lemon sharks, giant stingrays and more than 700 other tropical fish.
Blue Planet Aquarium's Paul Renolds explains: “Three metres underwater may not be the first place you'd expect to come face-to-face with Father Christmas.
“It just goes to show there really isn't anywhere Santa can’t deliver presents – and it’s certainly a lot warmer than the North Pole!
“Judging from the reaction we’ve already had from our team members we're expecting our scuba-diving Santa to make a real splash with visitors of all ages.”
“One of the unexpected bonuses is that the sharks and other fish are extremely curious and tend to follow him around the display which makes for some spectacularly close encounters for Santa,” he added.
Scuba diving Santa will be taking the plunge every weekend from Saturday, 4th December, during the aquarium's regular dive shows and will be diving daily from 22nd December right up until Christmas Eve.
It looks like this will be the place to take fish-loving kids to during the festive season as there will also be a special Aquatheatre show featuring the Christmas Elf and Charlie the Clownfish, Christmas face-painting and the aquarium will be decked out with festive decorations.
