| My husband and I took our two children, ages 3 and 6, on the Diver Ed Dive-In Theater Boat Cruise. We had a blast! Diver Ed and his crew are knowledgeable and entertaining. I highly recommend Diver Ed for kids of all ages. |

| I enjoyed Diver Ed's sense of humor and ease with kids and adults alike, and Edna's natural science knowledge gave the experience context. Our kids (2 1/2 and 4) really enjoyed seeing Diver Ed as he collected specimens and then getting to hold them and explore them up close. Ed and the crew's sense of humor, enthusiasm, and knowledge tied it all together into a fun trip for all! |

| Diver Ed is entertaining as heck. The kids love him. It is great to see what it looks like under the water - which I find is nothing like I would expect it to. Kids love the "eeeew-y" stuff, and Diver Ed always seems to come up with some of that! Besides being great fun, I hope it is teaching the children about loving our Bay and respecting the creatures that live in it. |

| Diver Ed, Captain Evil Edna, and Deckhand Dick provided a wonderfully fun, educational, and inspirational time on the boat. The wackiness is loved by the kids (and adults, too), but it's obvious that Diver Ed has a clear set of educational objectives and a plan to accomplish those objectives. I saw a lot, learned a lot, and came away impressed with the experience.
What was most appreciated by me was that _every_ child's participation was important to Ed and his crew (in other words, the most reserved children received as much attention as the most boisterous). My kids are incredibly reserved, and typically during activities like this they are lost in the loud crowd. That was not the case with Diver Ed. . . he is a man on a mission and he's making sure everyone is on board with him.
(and Captain Evil is just about the sweetest person we've ever met. . . she's awesome with the kids!) |

| This was a great choice of activities for my 7 year old son and my wife and I. We all learned some thing and had lots of laughs as well.
We would definitely recommend this trip to anyone. |

| If I was only going to do one thing in BAR HARBOR with or without kids this would be
it. Diver Ed was funny and educational. We ALL loved it.
It was real!!!! So opposite of Disney. Loved everything about it.
His passion for the ocean was contagious.
Would definitely do it again!!!!!!!!! |

| We were very pleased with the Diver Ed cruise. The camera work underwater is VERY interesting (for the adults too) and the kids love helping Diver Ed with his drysuit and then had a great time touching the animals when they come up. We also saw seals and a bald eagle. The staff was entertaining and very nice. Great activity for kids ages 4-12 or so, or for well-behaved toddlers (our daughter is 2.5 and did well). |

| This is the 2nd time we've gone out on Diver Ed's boat and our kids love it. Diver Ed, Captain Evil and Deckhand Dick are wonderful educators and entertainers. We go to Maine every summer and Diver Ed is always top our list. Our 4 and 6 year old boys love it -- we love it too. Pure joy. |

| This was our second year with Diver Ed and Captain Evil as well as their beautiful Newfoundlands. Their love of ocean life and Frenchman's Bay is evident in their two hour scenic, entertaining and educational tour. We saw and touched lobster, crabs, clams, seastars, sea cucumbers, etc. We also viewed porpoise families jumping and bald eagles flying over. Combined with the beautiful views it could not have been better. Just remember to bring sunscreen and water! Thanks Ed and Evil for another great experience the kids and adults are still talking about!
