| DiverEd and his team were a true hit with our family. We laughed and learned in a beautiful setting. It is a must for families with kids. The best 2 hours on a boat in a long time. |

| Our family found this experience to be a highlight of our trip to Mount Desert Island! Diver Ed and the crew entertained as they taught us all about marine life the water around Bar Harbor. We laughed as Mini Ed (#93) was "kissed" by a lobster, and as Captain Evil told stories about everything from the so-called, indestructible camera to unknown species of marine life that they have found during their adventures. We were able to watch on a screen mounted on the boat as Diver Ed dove in the water and collected creatures he encountered. Once he got back on the boat we were able to see and touch a variety of sea creatures such as: starfish (or sea stars as they are now known), crabs, lobsters, sea cucumbers, and shrimp. |

| Diver Ed makes learning about sea creatures incredibly fun and entertaining. Diver Ed's camera images are amazing, and then the best part is that you get to see & touch real starfish, lobster, crabs, etc. At the end, we got really lucky in that Diver Ed & team took a side trip to see seals that were sitting out on the rocks nearby on the way back. Great crew and great boat trip. I would highly recommend this to anyone. It is a calm and very family/kid friendly boat trip. |

| 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! |

| We really enjoyed the Diver Ed boat cruise. It was fun and informative for children and adults. The crew was entertaining as well as knowledgeable. There were many sea creatures to see and touch. I would highly recommend this activity for families. Our group loved it and we will definitely do it again. |

| Diver Ed's Dive-Time Theater is the most fun kids can have in Bar Harbor - definitely will be one of their highlights of the summer, especially if the kids have any interest in animals or what happens under the surface of the ocean. The trip far, far exceeded our expectations. Diver Ed is a natural with kids - entertaining and educational. The crew is very friendly accommodating and helpful. My wife forgot to bring her accu-pressure bands for sea-sickness, and Captain Evil had a set for her to use and even a variety of other sea-sickness remedies for her to try if the bands failed. My son talked about the trip all week long, and is still telling us about sea cucumbers, hermit crabs, etc. |

| I've taken this trip twice with my 5 year old granddaughter and other family members. Diver Ed and his crew are wonderful with children. The trip is educational but the kids probably don't even realize it, as Diver Ed appeals to a kid's sense of humor, e.g. references to and info about sea cucumber's poop. Sea creatures are seen in their natural habitat via an amazing camera system and they are seen for real when Diver Ed brings them onboard. Participants are taught to handle the animals carefully and respectfully after which the animals are returned to the sea. The crew of three, including Diver Ed's wife,"Captain Evil" , is wonderful and funny. As a bonus, last week, we saw a large number of seals on our way back to the dock.
If you're in Bar Harbor, especially with kids, don't miss this trip. |
