| My husband, three children, and I love Diver Ed! This is a fantastic trip for kids of all ages (ours are 8, 6, and 4, but we have been taking them on the trip since they were one). At the same time, though, my husband and I would probably consider going on our own as well! The trip combines very accessible, warm humor with concrete and detailed information about ocean life in Maine. We learn new things every year. Diver Ed does a wonderful job keeping passengers engaged with his scuba journey, first through radio contact as he collects creatures and then through a very clear, compelling live video feed - we see what he sees. Then he brings a bag full of creature aboard and actively encourages and guides children and adults to handle and interact with crabs, lobsters, sea stars, sea urchins, hermit crabs, etc. The creatures we meet in the video come aboard - there is great continuity and meaning here for kids. This is the kind of trip that is good enough to go back again and again! |

| Diver Ed and the staff including mini - ed provide a wonderful adventure of the ocean floor. Ed's enthusiasm and love for his trade provide a great educational and entertaining excursion. I would highly recommend this to anyone especially with children.
From my daughters, thank you Diver Ed, Captain Evil, Lady Libberty & most of all Mini Ed for a great time. Hope to be back soon.

| Diver Ed is our kid's favorite part of our trips to Bar Harbor. We have been on Diver Ed's cruise 3 times so far and will always make sure to see him when we are in town. He has a wonderful way with children and his energy is infectious! Everyone on his cruises learns so many fun facts about the sea creatures. When people ask us what we did on our trip to Bar Harbor, my kids always recount their Diver Ed cruise details first and foremost as the most fun thing that they did. My 14 year old daughter who won't do anything in front of anyone that might embarrass herself, has so much fun on this cruise and even kissed a crab on the "lips." My 10 year old son's smile never leaves his face while he is on board.
Diver Ed's sidekick (his wife), Captain Evil, is wonderful too and has such great, funny stories about Diver Ed and the various mini Ed's over the years.
We encourage anyone with kids or without to attend Diver Ed's Dive In Theater. It has always been a highlight of our visit to the area and is well worth the $. It is an experience unlike anything you have ever had! |

| My 6 1/2 year daughter loved the entire time - from the minute we walked down to the boat until we got off it!! Diver Ed explained everything very clearly and was able to make the whole ride enjoyable. My daughter didn't say once she was bored. He was WOOHOO funny. |

| Diver Ed & crew's enthusiasm provided a great combination of comedy, entertainment and education. Our 5 year old has not stopped talking about our experience with Ed and crew since we went a week ago. We Will be going back again next year. |

| Our group included three adults, a 3-year-old, a 5-year-old, and a 15-year-old--and we all enjoyed our trip out onto Frenchman's Bay with Diver Ed and his crew. Ed was fun and kid-friendly and also informative. The crew members did their best to make sure everyone was engaged in the program. We've been going to Bar Harbor for years and are so happy we discovered this entertaining boat tour! |

| We've been on many different boat tours in Bar Harbor and other ocean destinations. This was by far the best, most entertaining one. My kids loved it and we did too! Diver Ed was VERY funny and it was action packed....full of education too! We would highly recommend this activity to all families! |
