While some may be surprised by Santa’s unique pastime, the great man told Global News that it is his favorite thing to do besides giving gifts to children at Christmas.
The Clauses wanted to share their passion for diving and encourage more people to practice this sport.
“Anyone that we can get involved in scuba diving in Saskatchewan and with the Battlefords dive club is good,” Santa told reporters.
The fun did not come without its challenges, Santa admitted that it is a bit more difficult to get the children to sit on his lap underwater.

“They’re always on the good list,” Santa said.
