Nestled in New Mexico's desert, the Blue Hole is a crystal-clear oasis perfect for a refreshing dip. This natural wonder, situated between Albuquerque and Amarillo, boasts spring-fed blue waters at a comfy 16°C (61°F) all year round. Upon arrival, be sure to check in with the park and pay your dive fees. There is also a dive shop on site!
It's going to be a splashing good time! 
We will all try to meet up to enjoy dinner together Friday evening so please let us know if you will be joining!! 
See you all there!

Conveniently central to both the Clubhouse and dock at our resort, all of the oceanfront rooms are situated in two buildings, with a total of with four rooms on the first floor and eight rooms on the second.   Each room has air-conditioning, 1 king or 1 queen and 1 double bed, mini-fridge, coffee pot, Wi-Fi, lockable security box and private patio or deck.
