This holiday season, the festive spirit took an extraordinary dive beneath the waves at the Malta National Aquarium. Dressed in the iconic red suit, Santa Claus swapped his sleigh for scuba gear, delighting visitors as he fed some of the aquarium’s most captivating residents. From sleek sharks gliding through their tanks to colorful shoals of fish, the aquatic feast was not only a spectacle but also an engaging reminder of the importance of marine conservation during this joyful time.

Highlights of Santa’s underwater visit include:

  • Up-close interactions with five species of sharks, including sand tiger and nurse sharks
  • Feeding a variety of reef fish with specially prepared treats
  • Engaging aquarium guests with educational insights on marine ecosystems
