Santa Rosa's second dive site, a small spring-fed lake about a 10-minute drive from the Blue Hole, used for training and as an overflow when the Blue Hole is crowded. A cleaned twin-engine airplane and a car were sunk as attractions, lying in the 50-60 ft maximum depths, and visibility is more limited than the Blue Hole. Diving is managed by the city and requires the same city-issued dive permit.
