| My husband and I took our grandsons (ages 6 and 12 years) on a vacation to Maine.
One of the highlights was Captain Evil, Diver Ed, Mini Ed and Kevster on their new boat the Starfish.
Being snorkelers and divers ourselves, it was wonderful for our grandsons to share our joy of the bounty ounder the sea. Awe and joy abounded.
Thanks for a memory making excursion.!!! |

| I would highly recommend the "Dive In Theater Boat Cruise of Bar Harbor" to anyone, adult or child, but especially for families looking for quality experiences and school groups.
Diver Ed and Captain Evil and staff are true professionals who seem to have a deep concern for safety and security, but know how to teach groups in an absolutely fun, educational, and participatory way. When we get to immerse ourselves in an experiential manner and walk away actually remembering facts and details, it is a truly educational and memorable experience. The Dive In Theatre also teaches kindness, love, and a deep concern for our watery environments.
My only recommendation is perhaps the person who gives the initial commentary while the boat is working it's way to the diving spot, be more professional, perhaps a trained tour guide. Our gentleman was fun, but did not introduce himself, made some comments that were judgemental about wealthy families on MDI, held personal conversations with children while still on microphone, so not everyone was privvy to what was being said.
Other than that (which is pretty minimal), it was a truly memorable experience. |

| 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. |

| 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. |

| I have been to Bar Harbor for many years and try to come each year. Being from the midwest area I miss the ocean and love Maine...but this trip my granddaughter accompanied me and I thought this would be fun for her.....she loves all creatures.
But was I ever surprised when I found myself glued to the screen as Diver Ed explored the ocean floor with his camera......WOW it was thrilling to see the lobster move with such speed...and backwards......and I learned so much...
Oh by the way.......my granddaughter had a smile on her face the entire time......Diver Ed is a hoot and his dogs are gems........I would highly recommend this adventure for young and old......alike...........don't miss it! Both Diver Ed and his wife make the trip such a delight......really worth the money...... |

| When I got on the boat there were several children and it was feared I'd not enjoy being with so many little ones. How wrong could one person be? Diver Ed and Captain Evil are so very knowledgeable.....and extremely entertaining!! Even at my age I learned things about the ocean and the creatures therein. I would recommend this excursion to anyone who would listen!!! Thanks for a great afternoon!! |

| I had as much fun as the kids on board! Diver Ed is funny, entertaining and he knows his ocean! I recommend this tour for all ages if you want to see the sea life of this area. It was so interesting to watch the screen of what Diver Ed had on camera under the sea. His use of Mini Ed helped with perspective but when he brought the sea life back to the boat.....that was spectacular! My favorite was holding a sea cucumber...what an awesome creature. Diver Ed did "make" me kiss a crab..but the crab was cute! I hope to be back next summer to do it all again!!!!
