The Blue Hole
One of the most amazing destinations so far on our road trip. The Blue Hole is a must see and a must do! Don't forget your swimsuit and get ready for some light cliff diving. Kids loved it too!

The Blue Hole is free, and it reminded me of a simpler time, when Route 66 was THE road to get you there.
[Mike Chritton, 07/18/2014]The Blue Hole
An 81 foot diameter (it expands to 130 at the bottom), 81 foot deep artesian spring with crystal blue water. One of the most popular dive destinations in the US. A constant 64 degrees and a constant inflow of 3,000 gallons per minute. On scenic Route 66.

You see a lot of scuba divers visit on the weekend; weekdays are quite peaceful.
[Bernie Sparks, 05/24/2008]The Blue Hole is an 81-foot deep, crystal-clear, artesian spring, with year-round scuba diving. We drove hours to see this "tourist attraction," only to find a small, although deep, swimming hole.
