Hello, I used to be an active diver (14 dives per month all within 45 min drive from home...Northern NY). Recently I moved to ABQ New Mexico. Besides the Santa Rosa Blue Hole ( a 2 hour drive). Is the anywhere else to dive?
Also an overnight weekend adventure...Southern Colorado, Western Texas, Eastern Arizona?
Welcome to Albuquerque. In Santa Rosa there's also Perch Lake - it has a couple small wrecks to explore, and Rock Lake. Rock Lake is private, you have to go with an instructor and you must be a minimum of AOW.
Roswell has the Bottomless Lakes. I'm not sure if the shop in Roswell survived the Covid lockdowns, make sure to check before you go.
You can dive a number of other lakes in the state, but you probably don't want to. The visibility ranges from pretty poor to 0.
There's Navajo lake in Farmington. I've never been, never read a report of a dive up there, but I know there's a shop from Trinidad that does certification dives there.
In adjacent states, you can find some diving around Phoenix (the name of the lake escapes me) with fair visibility (10-15 ft). Utah has a warm water crater, and some private lakes with salt water.
If you are willing to dive 8 hours to Utah, I'd recommend the 12 hour drive to San Carlos, MX.
@CycleCat can tell you more about that, I've only been once.
Locally, all your dives will be altitude dives, so keep that in mind.
If you need someone to dive with, you're welcome to join my shop when we are out at Blue Hole. We almost always have a few folks who are just diving for the weekend, and/or a DM candidate who'd be happy to jump in the water with you.
