You may have seen Santa Claus climbing down your chimney or flying through the air, but have you seen him underwater?

Guests at the Tennessee Aquarium might get a chance to see Scuba Claus spreading holiday cheers alongside the aquarium’s underwater residents.

As part of the annual Holidays Under the Peaks celebration, Scuba Claus will make an appearance on Dec. 3, 10 + 17 at 2 p.m. From Nov. 25 through Dec. 21, guests can also enjoy festive music while exploring merrily decorated halls and galleries packed with seasonal surprises.
