| This was a fantastic way for our family to spend their afternoon. The tour is led by Diver Ed with help from Captain Evil. It was very educational - even us adults learned stuff we never knew and saw the underwater animals both in their natural habitats and up close and personal. If that wasn't enough, Diver Ed and Captain Evil's commentary is hillarious. It's almost like being on a floating comedy show. We highly recommend this tour ! |

| I highly recommend going on the Diver Ed boat cruise. I took my twin 6 year old girls and we all had a blast! Diver Ed and his wife are very entertaining and at the same time very educational. He engages every child on the trip,and they quickly become at ease and want to participate. From beginning to end, we thoroughly enjoyed this adventure. I recommend this trip for all ages. |

| My wife, 10 year old daughter and I were repeat visitors to Diver Ed's trip. This trip is highly entertaining and educational. Diver Ed gets the kids actively involved in the process of learning about the animals that live in the sea. After his dive Ed (along with dive partner "Mini-Ed") brings a collection bag of animals to the boat for everyone to touch and interact with. He talks about each animal, explaining its life cycle, eating habits and other interesting facts. Among the animals that he brought aboard were sea stars, urchins, crabs, lobsters and sea cucumbers. Ed's presentation is hilarious as well as informative. I can't recommend his trip highly enough!

| The Dive In Theater is FABULOUS!!!
We had so much fun, Diver Ed is hysterical!
Who knew such cool creatures were living down below the waves. We saw Barnacles feeding, Anemones, fast fish and very clever crabs we never would have seen if it weren't for Diver Ed and of course his faithful companion #89
We love Halo and Levi and think Captain Evil is the coolest Captain to sail the seas.
We look forward to our next adventure aboard the Seal, Thank you.

| Our boys (ages 7 and 9) loved this trip! Dad loved watching the underwater videos on the boat. Fun for the entire family! We've recommended this activity to several friends. |

| This trip is fantastic for kids interested in sea creatures. It was also entertaining and informative for adults. Diver Ed has a great sense of humor and captivated the kids' attention. The touch and learn interactive time with the sea creatures near the end of the tour was a highlight for the kids. The boat ride is scenic and pleasant....we had a good time, and a lot of good laughs! |

| The Dive In Theater was a great time. Our two kids (ages 7 and almost 5) said it was the highlight of the trip. Diver Ed really seems to enjoy his job and provided an educational and enthusiastic program. From the trip out to the dive area, to the dive and video show, to the "touch the sea creatures" portion, he and his crew (Captain Evil, Lady Libberty, Leviathan, and Halo) had the whole family entertained. The use of Mini-Ed #89 during the dive was very clever and funny. I would recommend the trip to anybody looking for a fun and informative vacation activity. |

| Diver Ed and his crew of Captain Evil and the Newfoundlands are outstanding. From the carefully marked path to the meeting spot to the personal farewell to each guest, the event represents careful and thoughtful planning. This is the best family adventure I have experienced as a parent and grandparent. It is wholesome, educational, and fun. The message of respecting the awe, wonder and dignity of nature is loud and clear, yet the entire event is comfortable and entertaining.
I would not only recommend this activity, I would urge every family to experience it. When we return to Mt. Desert Island, we will look forward to another adventure with Diver Ed!

| We took off for our tour with Diver Ed and crew on a gorgeous morning in July. Our group included 2 kids (4 and 7.5), 2 grandparents and us (the parents). The trip was wonderful, educational, entertaining, and fun!
Diver Ed and crew were able to keep our entire group (as well as a packed boat of passengers) engaged throughout the trip. He has incredible energy and a knack for teaching kids and adults about the ocean and the creatures who live in the dark, cold waters off the coast of Maine.
The sight-seeing, the underwater video, and the touch-tanks of the creatures found under water make for a fabulous outing that we are looking forward to repeating next year. |

| This was the absolute best thing we did on our trip to Bar Harbor. We have been visiting this area for about 25 years now, and this activity was one of a kind! It was informational and humorous. Ed and Evil (who is the sweetest person alive) are fantastic with the kids. My kids said it was "the best trip ever." But I would have enjoyed it even without kids. Some of my best vacation pictures are from the Diver's Ed trip. I have a fantastic one with sea stars stacked on my son's head! Oh, and now lobsters are his favorite animal. |
