Aquarium’s “Scuba Santa” Making a SplashCategory: Entertainment
Article added by: Jill Isaacs
"Scuba Santa” has made quite a splash since his debut at the Newport Aquarium in 2003. Photos of Newport Aquarium’s "Scuba Santa” taken by the Associated Press were used in Japan, Argentina, Brazil and Mexico. National morning shows fought over the chance to get a live interview with Scuba Santa.
Last year, Good Morning America correspondent Mike Barz interviewed "Scuba Santa.” He was also included in an article in USA Today. In 2005, "Scuba Santa” received national attention during a live interview with Katie Couric and Matt Lauer on the Today Show. He was also featured on The Early Show, MSNBC and in the New York Times.
This holiday season will mark the fifth year "Scuba Santa” will show off his underwater talent at the Newport Aquarium. A NEW addition is a chance to see "Scuba Santa” "dry,” in the Aquarium’s Gift Shop. Now parents can take photos of their kids with "Scuba Santa” both in and out of the water.
"Scuba Santa’s” Water Wonderland, which begins on Nov. 23 and runs through Jan. 1, has become one of the tri-state area’s favorite holiday traditions. Santa Claus and the world’s largest magical underwater sleigh and seahorses will delight and amaze visitors from around the world. "Scuba Santa’s” Water Wonderland has been named a winner of the Kentucky Tourism Council’s "Winter/Holiday Top 10” three years in a row.
"Scuba Santa” dive times, Gift Shop appearances and more information on Santa’s Water Wonderland will be posted on www.newportaquarium.com.
