That’s cool! It is a fun dive site, and we have been there more than once.

That's cool! Is he in the video?

@@vesler at .39 in the video is him his name is rusty wood. He was mentioned on the website after he passed.

@@april5451able That's awesome.

Crawfish

@@vesler Thank you… I was pretty sure that’s what they were but wasn’t 100% sure being from the northeast where all we have are lobsters for the most part :)

No, not to snorkel or free dive. Only to scuba dive.

Cool! Did your dad also help sink the Kittywake?

Santa Rosa, New Mexico

Thank you!

Thanks. Been awhile since I have been there. The city of Santa Rosa has made it MUCH less attractive to divers in the last 3-4 years.

Turn off the sound?

Interesting idea.

Thank you!

About 84 ft at the deepest point.

looks like a nice place for a splash

Stephen Blair Yes. The whole point of training is to teach you what can go wrong, then how to either prevent the problem or fix it. It is natural to be nervous. We weren’t made to breathe underwater. But I have been diving so long that it feels weird NOT to breathe underwater.

Vance Esler yeah that’s where the panic came from because I couldn’t get air and the feeling made me spazz.

Vance Esler in your entire diving experience have you ever started to get pan-icy?

Stephen Blair That would be embarrassing! Believe it or not, you can get serious damage to your lungs in only 10-12 feet of water! Glad you didn’t get hurt.

Vance Esler thanks , I felt like a wimp for panicking the way I did. That’s when I see people diving in really deep water I think “ man they’re no joke!”

Adam Martinez ...you are aware there's more than just one...right?

No

Actually, no. Someone else put them there. Things seem to come and go in this Blue Hole.

30-40 ft, as I recall.

New Mexico, USA

Someone should take a look!

Actually, you are correct, and we usually leave them alone. But we wanted to show how they move, and how fast they are! There are hundreds of them in this hole. No one fishes or removes them the rest of the time.

The tablet is real. The face is a plaster mask made from a real person. And the little statue is real.

Shadow Life 666 A person died became sand 😂

A plaster mask of someone's face. The woman who made it actually commented on it awhile back. It isn't there any more. Maybe she came and got it.

The Orange Gamin People become ahses when they die.

oh okay.

Its called a head ellen

It is a plaster cast of someone's face. The woman whose face it is once commented on this site.

1 day, 1 or 2 dives. It isn't really that large, although the video (unintentionally) makes it look that way. It is 80 ft across at the surface, 84 ft deep at the grate, and about 110 ft across at the bottom (a bell shape). If you can, dive it on a weekday when there are hardly any people around. On weekends, there are always a bunch of jumpers who stir up the silt and screw up the visibility. On a good day, you can see all the way to the bottom. On the jumper days, you are lucky to see 15 ft. The water is cold (61 degrees year round). I recommend a dry suit or 7 mm wetsuit.

+Vance Esler weekday is definitely the plan I have seen pics of the weekend crowd, no thanks. Any word on the bottomless lake state park? I think 1 day at each is looking good.

I don't know anything about the bottomless lake state park. There are some lakes on private property that are 300+ ft deep. Technical divers have been given permission to dive at times, but they are not generally open to the public, mainly due to liability concerns on the part of the property owners.

We discovered that as well, tried to get the permits needed to dive rock lake and ran into a road block.

Perch Lake is a small lake near the Blue Hole. It is spring water, too, also 61 degrees. It is only about 40 ft deep, but there were a few things to look at last time I dove it (which has been awhile). I recall there being a car and a small airplane fuselage. You don't need special permission to dive there. The same permit that lets you dive at the Blue Hole should let you dive at Perch Lake, too.

People are not in this type of shark's food chain. They might bite if you wave your hand or make them think it is a fish. They are circling, waiting on the fish that will be presented to them.

There are several "blue holes." This is the one in Santa Rosa, NM. It is less famous than the Belize Blue Hole that Jacques Cousteau explored.
