Dive into the huge, 74 degree, spring fed lake. With a max depth of 25 ft., and visibly ranging from 60 ft. to 100 ft., the diving can’t get much easier! This is a great place to get certified or to do some continuing education. You can always just do a dive for fun and see the many species of fish, inverts, and birds that live in and around the lake. Two species of endangered fishes inhabit the pool: Comanche Springs Pupfish and Pecos Gambusia (mosquito fish).
2024 Dates:
From Tucson: Take I-10 east past El Paso. The lake is about 5 1/2 mile past the I-10/I-20 junction. Balmorhea is an 8 – 9 hour drive from Tucson.
