I brought my daughter last year on Diver Ed's 2 hour tour and we had a wonderful time. We decided to go again this year and we weren't disappointed.
My only complaint was that this trip included a park ranger which was nice to have a long to talk to people, but he was not nearly as much fun as the trip with just Diver Ed running it. Diver Ed is simply amazing and so great with kids. When we go back we will be picking the 2 hour tour with just Diver Ed.
Thanks again for a wonderful time!!! |

This activity was wonderfully balanced with fun, humor, education, and comfort for all. I brought my three kids ages 8, 8, and 10 and my husband and we were all very entertained. We learned a great deal while marvelling at the great technology which allowed us to see what the diver saw, at the ocean floor! There were a lot of kid friendly lessons (always swim with a buddy!) and fun (mini Ed's battles with the lobster) while still keeping the adults engaged with lots of interesting facts - the park ranger on board answered nearly all the questions, but I was amazed that when she was stumped, Diver Ed filled us in on details of the life cycles of the underwater life. I would highly recommend this activity for adults and children over 8, there is an alternative, shorter tour for the younger ones but we took the three hour tour and it was perfect. I recommend people take warm clothes, no matter the season. |

It was great seeing various sppecies in their natural environment and then bringing them back to the boat for an up close and personal view was the icing on the cake. |

A Park ranger narrators about the ecosystem of Bar Harbor as the Starfish Enterprise cruises to a point just off Egg Rock Lighthouse in Frenchman Bay. Once the anchor is dropped, Diver Ed gears up for a dive. With a camera in tow, images are transmitted to a flat screen t.v. on deck for all to see. Diver Ed brings up his marine life finds: sea cucumber, urchins, star fish, lobster. Passengers then have an opportunity to touch these animals before they are returned to the sea. Diver Ed has a great sense of humor. His assistant during the dive is Mini Ed a Playmobile toy. |

This is a fun boat cruise. Diver Ed is a funny guy. I would recommend the two hour cruise over the three hour. We took the three hour, and it was too long in our opinion. However, we did enjoy the park ranger's narration, and I think the park ranger only comes on the three hour version. Diver Ed, his wife Captain Evil, and the park ranger were all very knowledgeable about the marine life in the area. |
