Sea-son's greetings!

Meet Diving Santa at the Seattle Aquarium! The holly jolly diver will read a holiday story to our guests while submerged in our 120,000-gallon Window on Washington Waters habitat.

Nothing says “sea-son’s greetings” like a selfie with Santa. Take a picture with them as they hover underwater while you stay warm and dry. Volunteers will be standing by to help take a family photo using your devices.

Diving Santa takes place at 12pm every Saturday and Sunday from November 25 to December 24. American Sign Language interpretation will be available during the dive on December 16, 2023.

Please note: Appearances subject to change without notice.
