Santa Rosa New Mexico’s Blue Hole is one of the most popular SCUBA diving destinations in the United States. This small lake sits in the middle of the desert to the east of the town of Santa Rosa, New Mexico. The lake is known for it’s incredibly clear, sapphire blue water. Visibility is a striking 100 feet and the water is always a steady 62 degrees. Those who wish to come and dive must purchase a permit. The on-site Dive Center offers training and support to divers as well as hot showers, which you will appreciate after taking a dip in the chilly water.
