I was doing my morning reading and an article in Kentucky.com really caught my attention.  It appears that the Newport Aquarium in Kentucky has created an attraction that combines the festive celebration of Christmas with the thrill and excitement of the underwater world.  Imagine Santa Claus, his sleigh loaded with toys, being pulled by brightly colored seahorses!  Well, it is for real at this very inventive Kentucky attraction.  Their Scuba Santa Water Wonderland attraction is so popular, it has been featured on several television networks.  Popular with both kids and adults, this is the “must-see” attraction at the aquarium during December.  What a cool way to excite those who love sea life and Christmas?  An excerpt from the article on Kentucky.com is shown below.

Santa Claus has been known to make some dramatic entrances depending upon where you live — from a pirogue in Louisiana to a surfboard in Hawaii — but for the sixth year in a row, he has arrived in Northern Kentucky with a mask and fins and a scuba tank strapped on his bank.

The Newport Aquarium’s Scuba Santa’s Water Wonderland has become so wildly popular with kids, and adults, in the tri-state area that it’s been featured on all three major television networks (CBS This Morning, NBC’s Today and ABC’s Good Morning America).

Through Jan. 3, visitors buying a ticket to the aquarium will receive free admission to the Water Wonderland exhibit, and be able to “ooohhh” and “aaahhh” with delight as Santa arrives in the world’s largest underwater sleigh pulled by prancing seahorses. In the spirit of the season, even the sharks are happy as Santa dives into their tank to find out which ones have been naughty or nice.

Aquarium admission is $18.95 adults, $11.95 ages 2-12, free for children younger than 2. For a schedule of the Scuba Santa dive shows, call (859) 261-7444 or visit www.newportaquarium.com.

Who says Santa can only be found at department stores, in parades, and in chimneys on Christmas Eve night?  Apparently, the folks at the Newport Aquarium have other ideas.  The read in this article seems to indicate a well thought and elaborately produced Christmas attraction.  So, if you are in Northern Kentucky over the holidays, make a little detour to Newport, Kentucky  and visit the real underwater Santa.

I previously wrote this blog post about a Yahoo! News article on the impact that increasing jellyfish blooms  are having on beach goers and water sports participants.  Jellyfish stings are painful and preventing them is important anytime you go in the ocean.  I was thinking that this might be a good time to discuss a very unique product we offer, the Safe Sea Jellyfish Protection lotion.

A jellyfish stings a human as a final step in a complicated mechanical and chemical detection and defense process.  This complicated “signal and reaction” process is not widely understood, but one company has spent millions of dollars defining the steps in the process and developing a response to interrupt the process.  Nidaria Technology recognized that the signal and reaction stinging process of the jellyfish is one of the fastest processes in the natural world.  Common sense indicated that if they could interrupt any part of the process, they could essentially stop the jellyfish from firing the cells that cause the sting.  Their extensive research and development yielded the Safe Sea Jellyfish Protection Lotion.  Safe Sea is a formulation based on the same chemicals that protect a Clown fish from stinging predators.  When properly applied, the Safe Sea lotion simply makes the wearer “invisible” to the jellyfish.  Without the ability to “know” that an organism in making contact, the jellyfish simply doesn’t send the signal to fire the stinging cells.

Safe Sea lotion does even more than protect against jellyfish stings.  The active chemicals are packaged in a pleasant lotion that also provides protection against sunburn.  Available in SPF 15, SPF 30, and a special SPF30+ formulation for children, users can now combine the beneficial effect of stopping jellyfish stings and protection from the burning rays of the sun.  Priced no more than cost of high-quality sunscreens, it seems silly to use any product other than Safe Sea.  Don’t go near the ocean with a supply of Safe Sea jellyfish protection lotion.  You can use the link below to purchase this product right now from DiveSports.com
