| Our family had a great time on this boat trip. We have a 10 yr old, 3 yr old and 16 month old so it's hard to find an activity that satisfies everyone. The underwater HD camera was great - amazing pictures of the underwater sea life with mini-diver ED. The kids loved picking up the animals and learning about them "Diver Ed" style. Great for kids of all ages - we will definitately go on this again in our next trip to Bar Harbor. |

| This outing was the highlight of our trip to Acadia. Diver Ed is a world class entertainer with an amazing repertoire of sea life knowledge. His supporting crew are also first rate. This is an activity that is fun for both adults and kids and a bit different with each trip - the vast majority of people on our trip had been out at least one time before. The Discovery Channel should discover this guy - seriously! |

| Mixed group of mostly family and a few friends. Children were 3 to 7 years old.
Some were from away. We had a great time, young and old. Funny and fast paced so the children didn't get bored. We will probably do it again. |

| Our Diver Ed excursion was educational and entertaining. Using state of the art technologies and comical props such as "little ED" , a miniature diver facing the dangers of the ocean bottom, we got to see close up what few get to see at the bottom of Maine's very cold ocean. Traveling with Diver Ed was a little like traveling with John Belushi, nevertheless it was a very unique way to spend an enjoyable afternoon. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone, especially if you have children or grandchildren like we did. Thanks for a great afternoon. Peace, Roland, Veronica and family. |

| We really enjoyed our trip with Diver Ed. Our 4 yr old son was fascinated with Diver Ed's diving experience and camera action. The touch tanks and his presention was over the top. I highly recommend this activity. Enjoy!! |

| My wife's parents live near Bangor, and we come up for a visit every summer to avoid some of the Phoenix heat. And each summer, we schedule a dive-in theater performance. The whole family has fun every time. |

| Will try again with a Park Naturalist on board for a more adult focus instead of a strongly child-centered approach. Still, a great show!
If Diver Ed would speak a bit more softly into his underwater microphone he could be better understood.
A definite "DO" for anyone unfamiliar with marine biology and for families with young children. |

| It was good but not great.
Diver Ed was a bit over zealous for our 7 year old. |

| Diver Ed is an interesting guy and looks like he likes to entertain, very active. It was really interesting when he went down with the camera and we got to see what the ocean floor really looks like. Captain Evil did a good job at answering questions on the local waters.
After brining up the sea creatures that he found on camera I felt that he spent too much time letting us touch and feel them. Most of the boat saw what he brought up in the museum’s tank before the cruise. I found the underwater camera part to be the most interesting. More time with the camera under the water and less time above water with the catch.
Overall it was a good time and I would recommend as an attraction when in Bar Habor. |
