Terrific 3 hour adventure!

The cruise sails from College of the Atlantic, which is fascinating in its own right. The program is excellent for adults who have an interest in Maine sea life and enjoy a cruise. The Park Ranger was both enthusiastic and very knowledgeable. Not only did we see eider ducks, gray & harbor seals, dolphins, gulls (of course), heard about the bird populations of the various islands circled, and viewed some of the lovely "cottages" along the cliffs, but then were enthralled with the video presentation of "Diver Ed'. He dives to the sea floor to collect specimens of starfish, lobsters, sea cucumber (the source of chondroitin!), and other life forms which we then were permitted to touch and examine closely before they were returned to their habitat. "Diver Ed" has a great partner in his wife, who gives a running commentary of what we are seeing on the video screen. It is a true bargain and delight and we were privileged to have the opportunity! Thanks!

Excellent cruise for families

My wife and I were looking for a cruise that our child would find interesting. The Dive-In Theater cruise fit the bill. Diver Ed and the Acadia National Park Ranger were friendly and entertaining. Our child loved watching the video being sent up to the boat by Diver Ed. She also enjoyed holding starfish, lobsters, crabs, snails, and a sea cucumber when Diver Ed came back to the surface. We HIGHLY recommend this cruise to anyone!

The trip was very interesting and educational. We brought our daughter and son in law out for an early 25th weddding aniversary and two of their four children, boys 6 and 13. All were very impressed and entertained and loved the chance to hold the creatures brought up by Diver Ed from the deep. His comments while collecting the specimans were also entertaining. This was our second time to Bar Harbor and will make it a point to take this tour again when we hopefully return in the next few years. Also enjoyed the information given by Ranger Tony. With any luck at all, next time it will not be so cold. Thanks again for a great afternoon. Don and Penny Schroeder from Iowa.....

We're a group of 12 women hikers. Everyone loved it. This is our 4th trip with Ed and Edna, and they are great. Great hands-on experience, great entertainment, great personalities. We've recommended this trip to everyone.

This is a very informative and funny trip. Diver Ed is like John Balushi and/or John Candy. We we informed, entertained, and would do it again in a heart beat.

Entertaining and Informative

DIver Ed is one of those lucky guys who really enjoy their job! He is as fun as he is informative, showing us sea creatures that he brings from the floor of the ocean to his passengers comfortably seated in his fine boat. Hold lobsters, crabs, sea cucumbers, sea stars and more! The cruise takes you by Egg Island where seals are basking in the sun and close enough for some real good pictures. We even saw some young eagles on another of the islands we passed!

Diver Ed and Captain Evil (wife Edna) kept us entertained and informed through the trip. The ranger on board was really a bonus; we can't imagine the trip without her, too. Our children, ages 10 and 14, enjoyed the trip and holding creatures from the sea.
