Blue Hole is a park in the city of Santa Rosa, New Mexico. There is onsite air filling on the weekends, and sometimes during the week. There is some VERY limited rental equipment available. Permits are $10 for 1 week (Wednesday through Tuesday) and $25 for a year (January to December). Blue Hole features a staircase entry or a concrete platform over the water for giant stride entry. There are training platforms at 20 and 25 feet for student divers. As Blue Hole is a bell-shaped sinkhole, the walls are where the attraction lie. Some notables include the toy store, the cow skull, and the diver's tombstone.



Blue Hole is also known as Navarre Nation.
