Mr. and Mrs. Claus geared up for an underwater photo session for anyone wanting to experience a different Christmas memory.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year — for Santa to go scuba diving.
Mr. and Mrs. Claus took time out of their busy holiday schedule to visit North Battleford on Sunday.
“Myself and Mrs. Claus spend all year gearing up for Christmas time and the 24th and 25th are our busiest time. So we like to get away for a few days before Christmas, and just kind of enjoy our favourite sport,” said Santa.
The two geared up for an underwater photo session for anyone wanting to experience a different Christmas memory.
Members of the Battlefords Scuba Community helped set up the event at the Battlefords Co-op Aquatic Centre and ended up joining in on the fun.
“It’s my favourite thing to do besides give everybody presents on Christmas,” said Santa Claus.
The Clauses wanted to share their hidden passion of diving and encourage more people to try it out.
Not many people showed up like they had expected, but the Christmas spirit did.
