Santa
Rosa was founded in 1865 and is the home of the most unique
geological phenomenon in the Southwest, the famous Blue Hole, which
is often referred to as "Nature's Jewel". The Blue Hole is an 81
foot deep natural artesian spring. This beautiful bell shaped pool
delivers up to 3,000 gallons of water per minute and remains a
constant 64 degree temperature, permitting diving all year round.
Due to it's amazing clarity, Blue Hole has become a favorite
location for many scuba divers, photographers and sightseers.
