Welcome to Scuba Santas 2013!  Please see http://www.scuba-santas.co.uk for more information!

We are are a group of UK scuba divers who have been doing this together for 7 years now. Each year around Christmas time we dress up in santa costumes to raise money for charity.

From 2013 all money raised will be split 50/50 between the RNLI & DDRC Healthcare (was Diving Diseases Research Centre). Our event partner DDRC Healthcare will collect the funds & will distribute 50% to the RNLI on our behalf. 

In 2007 we raised a few hundred pounds for the RNLI with 8 participating santas, a viking, a snowman, and a fairy. In 2010 we broke our own record with over 150 divers and over £10,000 raised! The event continues to go from strength-to-strength.

In total we have now raised over £20,000 for the RNLI. 

2013 sees us raising funds for the DDRC as well as the RNLI.

The event is held at the National Diving and Activity Centre an inland dive site near Chepstow.

If you would like to take part, you will need to be a qualified SCUBA diver, but non-divers are always welcome to support and join in the festive fun.

We will be diving in Santa outfits and, if we get the go-ahead, will be aiming to break the world record for the largest number of simultaneous scuba diving Father Christmas’ at one time!

Not only is this a great advert for British scuba diving, it also raises funds for those in need at Christmas, and despite the freezing temperatures puts a smile on some otherwise very grumpy people’s faces! Visit www.scuba-santas.co.uk to register for 2013. 

Taking place on 15th December 2013, at the UK's deepest inland site, the event raises funds for the RNLI & DDRC by getting as many divers underwater at the same, dressed as Santa. Particpants raise funds through sponsorship, or donate directly through this site. The NDAC will be donating a fixed amount per diver attending the event.
