At 12:15 and 2:15 p.m. each day this weekend and most Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays throughout December, Santa will get into his scuba gear and enter the aquarium’s 110,000-gallon “Ocean Beyond the Sound” exhibit, which is home to 7-foot sand tiger and lemon sharks. There will be no dives Thursday, Dec. 24.

This event is part of The Maritime Aquarium’s regular dive program, intended to demonstrate sharks aren’t the bloodthirsty killers of myth.
