Santa Literally Dives Into Holiday Season With Sharks, Rays, Fish

TAMPA, FL - Santa Claus has arrived. The jolly old elf is helping to usher in the holiday season by scuba diving with the sharks, rays and fish at The Florida Aquarium.

“Santa knows no limits,” said Aquarium associate curator Eric Hovland. “He knows when you’ve been sleeping, he knows when you’re awake, he knows when you’ve been scuba diving because he scuba dives for goodness sake, and he did today at The Florida Aquarium.”
