A diving Santa entertains visitors while promoting holiday cheer and raising awareness about ocean conservation.
The Seattle Aquarium is once again embracing the holiday season with its annual Diving Santa tradition, while promoting environmental conservation.
Throughout December, Santa Claus can be seen swimming alongside fish, kelp, and other marine life in the aquarium's 120,000-gallon Window on Washington Waters habitat.
Ande Fieber, a research diver at the University of Washington and dedicated volunteer at the aquarium, takes on the role of the underwater Santa. Beyond spreading seasonal joy, Fieber uses this opportunity to highlight the importance of ocean conservation and education.
“If folks want to come and visit Santa, and they learn a thing or two in the process, that’s just fantastic,” Fieber said. “Learning and understanding why conservation is important should be a fun process. And if someone like Santa gets to tell them a little bit more about some cool things about the ocean, then all the better. If they had a fun time doing it, then that’s great.”
Originally introduced as a way to attract visitors during the holidays, the Diving Santa program has grown into an annual tradition. Now in its 15th year, it continues to captivate local residents, families, and tourists, offering a rare opportunity to witness Santa in an underwater setting.
During each presentation, an aquarium engagement ambassadors engage visitors by providing educational insights into the marine ecosystems, fostering a greater appreciation for marine conservation.
