| Santas are scuba diving with sharks in Brazil to help children appreciate fish, seas, etc |
Have you ever seen a scuba-dive with Santa? Well, if you were right now in Brazil, you'd have it. While the affable fictional figure is known to ride around the world on his reindeer-driven sleigh to reward children who have been good all year round in Brazil's AquaRio, which is the largest aquarium in South America, Santa plunges seven meters below the sea. While the affable fictional figure is widely associated with the Christmas holiday and often addressed as 'Saint Nicholas' and 'Father Christmas'.
This is an effort to introduce festive cheer for tourists, according to a report in The National. Dressed as Santa, before Christmas this year the AquaRio team members will dive into a large tank every day. And the Santa divers can feed the sharks, clean the tank and swim with the fish once within the aquarium's Oceanic Enclosure. The research states that this stunt was intended to raise awareness of marine life, especially during this festive season and during the pandemic year, when so much happened and space was reclaimed by nature. This initiative sheds light on the significance of marine life protection.
The tank inside the Marine Aquarium in Rio de Janeiro is home to countless manta rays, stingrays, fish, and sharks, according to the outlet, and holds over 3.5 million liters of water. In addition, visitors do not have to worry about their safety in the pandemic since children are socially distant from the whole activity, so they can enjoy the uniqueness of the festivity. In reality, for tourists, a thick glass undersea tunnel has been installed, so it is safe for them to get near the Santas and yet maintain a safe distance.
The largest aquarium in South America reopened with all COVID-19 safety measures for visitors, such as compulsory face masks, restricted space, online reservations, social distance, and on-site medical staff.
