Discover the Magic of the Season
Enjoy dozens of exhibits adorned with magical holiday lights and décor as you sip and snack on festive fare and refreshments (with plenty of options for the 21+ crowd). Plus, Santa is trading in his big red bag of gifts for a dive mask and fins! Wave to Scuba Claus nightly as he takes a break from the North Pole and dives into the warmer waters of the Carolinas in our Great Ocean Tank.
