An underwater Christmas party in Larnaca

The Nemo Dive Centre in Larnaca has released a YouTube video of its underwater Christmas party filmed off the coast.

The high-quality video filmed by Alexandros Papanmdreou shows a group of divers in elf and Santa hats decorating a Christmas tree underwater close to a table ‘set with plates and glasses’.

On the surface Santa arrives on a ski jet to the spot, jumps into the water with a bag of presents – goggles – and dishes them out to the divers before they all ‘sing/gurgle’ Christmas songs and play on musical triangles.

The performance is followed by an underwater ‘toast’.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
