This Christmas season, you can find Santa under the sea at the Newport Aquarium. Scuba Santa swims in an underwater tank—full of sharks and other sea creatures—where you can see him on full display for plenty of photo opportunities. Seeing Scuba Santa is included with admission and on select days, your child can meet Santa and tell him what they want for Christmas. Meeting Scuba Santa is a must-do this Christmas.
