| Diver Ed is excellent with children. This cruise is very educational to young and old alike. Definitely the highlight of our vacation. |

| Diver Ed and Captain Evil did a great job. I would recommend this 2 1/2 hour tour to anyone of any age. It was very informative as well as tremendously entertaining!! |

| My children LOVE Diver Ed! We took friends a few years back, and their children still talk about his cruise. We went again this year, and really enjoyed his highly humorous but informative look at the sealife of Frenchman's Bay. You will not regret the trip! |

| Oustanding, fast-paced, one-of-a-kind adventure. The 7 and 11-year olds were engaged every minute. Lots of silly fun, mixed with incredible ocean-bottom sights, hands-on with sea creatures, and educational information. What a great time -- and a uniquely Maine experience. |

| 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. |

| Diver Ed and Captain Evil really make learning fun! We first went on the trip about 5 years ago and the kids absolutely loved it. now they are 12 and 15, and they still loved it! It's because Ed and the crew are still very enthusiastic about what they do. And they have invested in their business - better video quality, and live audio link with Ed while he is on the bottom. We'll be back! Our only complaint is that when we booked the trip through Zerve we were asked if anyone in our party was celebrating a special event. We were - it was my mother-in-law's birthday on the day we sailed, and we noted that on the reservation. Ed and crew made no mention of the birthday during the trip, which was a little disappointing. |

| Diver Ed runs a terrific cruise for kids. He drives a small boat with ~30 passengers (families with kids) out into the bay, puts on a wet suit, and lets the kids push him overboard. Then the boat converts to a floating theater and the passengers view Diver Ed on a video screen while he explores life on the ocean floor. He shows images of anemones, sea cucumbers, starfish, crabs, and of course lobsters! and many other creatures (whatever he finds). His mate, Captain Evil, a naturalist, interprets and narrates the images. He then puts the animals into a mesh bag and brings them up to the boat. The kids can see and touch all the animals while Ed and Evil describe how they live. Diver Ed encourages interaction and "kisses" all the animals - and the kids do too! |

| This boat trip was soooo much fun. Diver Ed really knows how to interact with the passengers (esp the kids). He was educational and informative while still being lots of fun. I especially loved it when he brought the sea creatures up and let everyone hold them. I absolutely recommed this trip to families!! |

| We have visted Bar Harbor three times and have always had fabulous trips. We
heard from Kayak intstructor Jeff that you were the "funniest guy on the face of
the earth" so we HAD to check out your tour. Well, he was absolutely correct!
You are extremely funny and we also enjoyed Captain Evil and Deckhand Dick's
interesting and funny and stories. The icing of the trip was getting to see the
harbor seals and the two bald eagles (how lucky were we to get to see one eating
his seagull lunch?!)!
Fabulous trip, thank you for making this trip to the island a memorable one for
sure! |
