| Eddie is very entertaining. The kids in the crowd were eating up his antics, and it was impossible for the adults to resist his humor and effervescent personality. He kept us smiling and laughing. He was sometimes silly but not demeaning.
It is amazing how well we could see the critters while Eddie was underwater, via the video camera and screen. I will not be able to dive to the bottom of the Bay myself, so to be able to do it virtually through Diver Ed was priceless.
Once Eddie brought the animals up to the boat, it was so fascinating to be able to touch and see the critters up close. I would have liked a little more factual information, but that may have been difficult due to the need to keep the attention of the children in the crowd.
Being out on the water, seeing the shore and islands from the water also gave us a great perspective. But wear layers! It is colder on the water than on land.
Overall, it was an wonderful time and an excellent value for the money. |

Ed's Dive-In Theater was the HIGHLIGHT of our trip

| From the moment we stepped on board, Ed and his wife made our family feel welcome. I don't know where he gets all of his energy from, but I want some! His warmth, sense of humor, and knowledge about sea life created an amazing, hands-on experience for our entire family. Our kids loved watching him explore the ocean 60 feet below us on the large screen. We loved that his wife explained everything we were seeing onscreen while Ed was exploring with the camera. His companion of Mini-Ed (a playmobil toy mini version of Ed) was hilarious, as Mini-Ed wrestled with lobsters and crabs on the ocean floor. After about 20 minutes underwater and on-screen, Diver Ed had collected numerous starfish, sea stars, crabs, lobsters, and mussels for the kids to touch and learn about back on the boat. My son Aidan still brags to his friends at school about kissing a crab! We were so impressed by their "Critter Cruise" (as my kids refer to it) and we are so grateful for the vivid memories and wonderful photos we now have to cherish. Many, many thanks for making our time in Bar Harbor so special. Even though we went initially for our twins, who are only four years old, I think people of all ages will love Ed's Dive-In Theater Cruise. Especially kids ages 13 and under. A++ in our books! We'll be sure to go again next time we're in Bar Harbor, as what Diver Ed encounters each time will be different!

| My wife and I spent a short weekend in Bar Harbor. There were many activities we wanted to do, but had to pick 2. I'm glad we decided to make Diver Ed's Dive-In Theatre one of them. We will be back to Bar Harbor, and when we go back, we will do Diver Ed's again. Diver Ed and his wife are great people with an amazing knowledge of sea life. You get a great boat ride with an excellent view of the harbor, an exciting, hilarious and educational live underwater show, and to top it all off, the live video is in high definition. Every minute was worth every penny. Thanks for making great memories Diver Ed! We can't wait to see you again!

| This was a wonderful experience! Diver Ed and Evil Edna were lovely people and provided fun and laughs along with a very knowledgeable commentary on the sea creatures that Ed found. The quality of the undersea images we saw was superb, thanks to the top-grade camera equipment on board. This is no ordinary boat trip - it's a definite must-do for families vacationing in or near Bar Harbor. |

| Our childrens' ages range from 5 - 18 and we all enjoyed the adventure. One of the teens said it was the best part of their week long adventure in Acadia. Diver Ed provided an entertaining education. A great note to end our vacation on. Thanks Diver Ed, Captain Evil and Halo (no not the game) and Levi. Well done! |

| Diver Ed, Mini-Ed, Captian Evil and the crew work hard to provide a great family experience. Special thanks to Halo and Levi for keeping us safe. Our three year old daughter had a blast. She and everyone aboard had ample opportunity to touch and hold a variety of bottom dwelling sea creatures from the bay. You will laugh and learn at the same time. |

| Very entertaining - with a great sense of humor; Ed was very knowledgable yet presented his information in such a kid-friendly, humorous way! The kids just loved it (ages 4 and 6) and played for a long time with the sea animals. They were so excited and talked about it a lot. The video underwater was wonderful - I have never seen some of these animals. Great camera! |
