Lake Sakakawea is a great North Dakota resource offering a good place to learn to dive and to stay current on your diving skills. MJ Scuba comes to ND each summer to help you become certified as a PADI Scuba Diver. We teach scuba in the pool in Garrison ND and on Lake Sakakawea during the months of June, July and August. Located just six miles west of highway 83, Garrison is an easy drive from Minot, ND and Bismarck, ND. The best part of learning to scuba dive in North Dakota is you will be ready to scuba dive in the ocean on your next vacation to a tropical destination. Be sure to checkout the Dive Travel menu for recommendations for scuba diving destinations and scuba dive operators. All recommendations are based on the personal experiences of Michael Johnson, your PADI instructor.
