He flies through the sky and goes down the chimney, but it’s not often that you see Santa underwater.  This holiday season Santa is spreading holiday cheer with the help of some scuba gear.  A jolly, red-suited diver, beard and all, along with his elf are taking the plunge in a magical dive show amongst the fish, sharks and sea turtles in SEA LIFE Grapevine Aquarium’s 160,000-gallon ocean tank.  Pose for pictures and find out whether Scuba Diving Santa thinks you’ve been naughty or nice.  Scheduled dives occur at 11:30 a.m. on December 13, 14, 20 and 21.
