| Diver Ed was very funny and great with the kids. They loved touching the sea creatures, throwing him over board and learning about the equipment. It was a nice, relaxing ride where both my 6 year old and 2 year old had fun!
Highly recommend it. |

| The Diver Ed trip was terrific. We brought our 3-year-old and her aunt and uncle (ages 20 and 16) and all of us had a great time. Definitely fun for grownups, but especially fun if you have a little one(s) to share it with. Diver Ed is enthusiastic and a great entertainer. |

| This was our second time on Diver Ed's boat. Our children are 8 and 6 now and I think they are the perfect age for this. Our youngest was 2 the first time and she stayed back with a family member, this time she enjoyed it so much, and was able to sit and really appreciate what was going on. Not only is this an educational experience for both the children and parents, but very funny. Diver Ed is someone your kids wont forget, my daughter even had a birthday party themed after the experience, with touch tanks filled with water and fake sea animals! You will see all of the real thing on this activity, though, and to me it is worth every penny.PS--This time it was on his new boat, which was awesome! |

| I am orginially from Maine but was visiting with my husband and 5 year old son from Washington, DC. We had never done this event before, but after seeing the website before our trip decided to check it out. I am glad that we did! It combined having a nice open air boat ride with some entertainment for our son (we liked it a lot too!). I would highly recommend this to families. I would say that children under 3 won't really be able to sit for this show and ride. We had to turn the boat around at the start to bring back a very upset young one. Kids and adults over 3 will have fun! Go for it! Diver Ed and his wife are great! |

| Another fun trip with Diver Ed. We have been coming back for years and our girls talk about it all year long. If you're visiting Bar Harbor, it is a unique experience not to be missed.

| We took our 2 grandchildren (ages 4 and 7), our daughter, and son in law as our guests from Chicago on the Diver Ed cruise. Ed Monat ,aka Diver Ed, is a gifted showman, as well as an experienced diver, so the combination made for an entertaining as well as an educational outing all could enjoy. We were at sea for about 2 1/2 hours, so we felt we were definitely. getting our money's worth. Lots of fun! |

| My husband, two children (8 and 11) and I all loved this boat trip with Diver Ed, Captain Evil, and Mini Ed! Ed is incredibly funny, engaging, and informative. The kids thought he was a riot! Dad, too! The trip is exactly as billed and doesn't disappoint. It was one of the highlights of our vacation. Two hours of fun on the water, no sea sickness-yeah! This is not just for "little" kids as my 11 yr old was laughing the whole time. Perfect family fun. We highly recommend this trip and will definitely do this again! Thank you Ed and all for a great family memory. |

| Diver Ed and his wife Captain evil provide a unique view of the seaworld in the cold waters of Maine with hilarious commentary and actions. Diver Ed sings madeup songs as he prepares to be pushed off the stern by all the kids aboard. He takes a camera with him and the pictures are beamed aboard to a large screen. He selects various sea life to bring aboard, including baby lobsters, scallops, and star fish plus various sizes of seacucumbers. After he comes aboard all seacreatures are handed around to be gently handled and even kissed. Seacucumbers also squirt -- in faces, down backs with much laughter and screams from the kids. The adults also enjoy the show especially seeing the kids react. Both Diver Ed and his wife are extremely knowledgeable about everything we are seeing. My son-in-law and grandson (11 yrs) said it was the best trip they have ever taken. This is a trip not to be missed on any visit to Acadia National Park |

| Diver Ed and Captain Evil are wonderful hosts and guides, friendly, professional and excited about the subjects they speak of. Everyone should take a trip with them when they come to Acadia, young and old. |
