Sharjah24 - Reuters: : A scuba diver dressed in Santa's classic red and white costume swam in a tunnel tank containing around 3,000 fish and dolphins at the Hakkeijima Sea Paradise aquarium in Yokohama in order to congratulate visitors and children on Christmas Day.
"It was good to enjoy an early taste of Christmas, although it did feel strange seeing Santa in the water," 25 year-old visitor Midori Shoji told Reuters.

The event drew a small crowd in spite of rising costs in Japan. "We still want to spend money on special occasions like our wedding anniversary today," said 31 year-old restaurant worker Takumi Kagaya, who watched Santa's performance alongside his wife, Makoto.
