Maybe someday I will try it but probably won't happen since I have issues with my ears popping when i dived deep into the pool.I did get to see a person scuba dive in the flesh when I worked on the grade raises of the roads on the devils lake basin. The diver was a certified rescue diver who was also a foreman for the company that I worked for a couple summers. He was inserting these large rubber air bladders called pigs into culverts that needed extensions added to the ends since the road was going to be widened as well as raised. The pigs would be inserted and filled up with air to stop the water from leaking into the coffer dam that was built so the area was dry to add on the extensions to the pipe that was underwater. That was the only time I have ever seen anyone scuba dive.Other then that I don't see scuba diving in north dakota as a popular adventure since most lakes are not clear enough as say Minnesota lakes. One thing is for sure of if you could make a wet suit affordable for winter diving then you could have something because devils lake would be crappy in open water but winter time would be awesome.Here is a video for north dakota spear fishingI do remember hearing stories of divers inspecting the garrison dam and feeling huge fish bumping into you which would scare the crap out of me, even though you have a light it would be frightening to me.[MEDIA=youtube]5GYRhRSohVM[/MEDIA]<a href="https://www.justgottadive.com/dive_resources/travel_articles/prairie-diving-north-dakotas-lake-sakakawea" target="_blank">https://www.justgottadive.com/dive_resources/travel_articles/prairie-diving-north-dakotas-lake-sakakawea</a></blockquote>
