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!

Dive Valhalla

October 16-18, 2026

​All Prices are Per Person

*This trip is limited to 20 divers*

Come experience this unique dive with us at the Valhalla Missile Silo in Abilene, TX.  

$225.00 per person. This will include up to 5 tank dives over the span of Friday at 2:00 PM to Sunday at 12:00 PM.

Rental equipment will be available for the weekend for $50. All tanks are included.

**$100 non-refundable deposit is due at sign up to secure your spot**

Final payment due September 16th

*This trip is for Advanced Certified Divers and up. There is time to obtain your Advanced Certification before this trip if you're interested. Be advised that ALL your equipment, including tanks, will have to be physically transported from the surface to the staging level by you. Full gear will typically be worn from the staging level to the platform and down the suspended stairway. Divers with heavier equipment will want to seriously consider this climb during equipment selection. There are approximately 75 stairs from the surface to the platform. The descent from the staging area is a walk down a suspended (moving) stairway and gangway to the floating platform 30’ below.

The property has given us a list of the suggested equipment you will want/need.

~Drysuit or heavy wetsuit (7 or 5/7 mil)

*We have limited sizes of 7 mil wetsuits for rent 

~Hood

~Gloves

~Primary & backup lights

Surface Camping:

There is no charge for camping in tents, campers, or RV’s. Valhalla has a certain way they like things set up so please let us know in advance if you plan to camp or take an RV. During the warmer months, they have a bath house available for use by all parties that has a solar shower. Campers may also use the main deck facilities located on the bottom floor of the LCC. For full hookups you can go to Abilene State Park which is about a 15-minute drive away.

Underground Sleeping Facilities:  

Add $100 if you choose this option.

Valhalla has the option of sleeping underground in the silo. They have 6 queen sized beds, with linens and pillows. Due to the size of the area, we cannot bring in any additional mattresses. Please understand that this is a military barracks-style accommodation, but with privacy curtains, it’s not the Hilton. 😉

Property Rules:

1 - NOBODY (diver, non-diver, doesn’t matter) allowed on property without COMPLETED and SIGNED Dive Valhalla Waivers.

2 - ABSOLUTELY NO ANIMALS – No exceptions.

3 - NO CHILDREN (<18) who are not diving the site.
