Dive-In Theater Boat Cruise of Bar Harbor

Our trip with Diver Ed was fantastic! Diver Ed was educational and hilarious! We learned a lot about marine life and had a wonderful afternoon. Our children loved handling the sea creatures. I would highly recommend this trip. We will definitely do this one again if we are back in the area.

My husband and I went to the Dive In Theater while we were in Bar Harbor on a Celebrity cruise ship. We both really enjoyed the experience. The couple who run the program were personable and very entertaining! I feel that this is an excursion that can be enjoyed by all ages.

This is second Diver Ed trip and will not be our last. Everyone with children that visits MDI should go and return on future visits. Dive In theatre is a brilliant concept and fun, memorable event on the water for all. Boat, Captain, Diver Ed, and mini Ed all add to the Discovery experience. Thank you again!

Diver Ed was very insightful and engaging. Our kids loved the trip and can't wait to go again next time we visit Bar Harbor.

A once In a lifetime experience. Our almost 4 year old was captivated and we were, too! Highly recommend for kids 3-12. And a great learning experience for adults too. Diver Ed is wonderfully enthusiastic and teaches on kids level. Ignore any criticism of potty humor in reviews... Ed and Edna keep kids attention and teach them about the sea creatures in an appropriate engaging way. Truly one of the best things we've ever done and we have traveled fairly extensively.

This adventure by far exceeded my expectations. Extremely educational for my kids and they loved all the hands on opportunities they had with the ocean life. Diver Ed and his crew were not only educational, but comical too. We found ourselves laughing right along with our children. I highly recommend this adventure. I know we will be enjoying diver Eds dive in theater again in the future.

Diver Ed doesn't advertise, and seems to rely on word of mouth. I've been coming to Bar Harbor for many years, and had not heard of him. A friend recommended him. I went with my 8 year old son, and it was fabulous. After a short boat ride, Ed puts on his scuba gear and dives with an HD video camera and lights, and has two way voice communication with the boat. He shows many of the ocean bottom creatures (sea stars, lobsters, crabs, sea cucumbers, fish, etc.) he comes upon, describing them and their live style. He then brings many of them to the boat, when they are put in sea water filled trays, for all to observe. He plays with the animals and the kids, who get to handle all of them, and is very entertaining. Afterwards, the animals are returned to the sea. A great experience for all.

We were in Bar Harbor for one day on a cruise so instead of paying for an overpriced excursion from the cruise line we did this. We had a blast. Ed and, his wife, Captain Evil, were very knowledgeable and entertaining. We learned a lot. It rained while we out but the boat is very well covered and we didn't get wet! I highly recommend this for all ages - my husband and I really enjoyed it.

We all laughed until we cried, and had a blast learning about all the amazing sea creatures.

We all greatly enjoyed our outing with Diver Ed, Cptn Evil, Solo, and the dogs, Halo and Leviathan. Educational, hands-on, entertaining, and overall one of our most memorable experiences from our Maine vacation. Our 4yr old son couldn't stop talking about getting to hold all the various sea creatures!
