All the staff, Diver Ed, his wife and the ranger, shared their knowledge with an enthusiasm that showed that they really love what they do. Diver Ed was both informative and entertaining, keeping both adults and children raptly attentive. The three hours went by quickly. I would do this again in a heartbeat and I was not that keen to begin with. But I would bring any guest on this trip. It was great fun! |

We had a fantastic tour with Diver Ed and Ranger Angi King Jonhston. The staff on the boat, coupled with Ranger Angi, were well-versed in the creatures under the sea, as well as the birds that live in Acadia. The underwater camera allowed Ed to show pictures of the animals' habitat, but also used humor to keep kids of various ages engaged. He and Angi would get excited about the animals we saw on the way out to the dive site, and the creatures he brought on board for the kids (all of us!) to touch were great as well. We were lucky enough to see bald eagles, seals, otters and porpoises on this cruise -- as well as all of the sea creatures Diver Ed brought up for us to see up close. It was a great trip -- and we will remember it for a long time to come! |

This was a fun 3 hours. Diver Ed and crew were very informative. The Ranger assigned was well qualified to inform us of what we were viewing. Hands on experience of sea creatures. I never thought that I would actually hold a sea cucumber. Our group certainly enjoyed this 3 hour tour. |

We went on the Diver Ed cruise after having a stranger on a bus tell us how much her family had enjoyed it. There were four adults and four children in our group and everyone had a great time. Diver Ed is a real unique character and it was an experience like no other. |

It was a wonderful way to spend an afternoon. Our group included three children who were kept interested by Diver Ed and Ranger Emily. We were lucky to see seals, Bald Eagles and lots of creatures who live under the sea. I would highly recommend it to everyone. |

Our entire family enjoyed the dive in theater program.
We enjoyed watching Diver Ed on the theater screen as he explored the bottom of the ocean and loved seeing the the animals that Diver Ed brought up to the boat.
The park ranger program was very educational and truly adds to the experience.
We hope to purchase a Mini-Ed, Diver Ed's diving companion toy for my son. I'm not sure if we can do that through Zerve or not. If so, please let us know. Thank you. |

My daughter (11) loved this trip! We did too! Diver Ed is so much fun, he and his wife are so knowledgeable on marine life, we all learned a lot! I don't think my active 3 year old could have handled a 3 hour tour, but think it would be great for kids 5 and up! Looking forward to taking my niece with us next year! |

We have seen Diver Ed twice and we will be back. Diver Ed and Captain Evil are outstanding! What a way to introduce a live "aquarium" from the ocean. |

Diver Ed provides you with lots of details. We were able to see seals and an Eagle. Once we were anchored and watching the screen and seeing things in the bottom of the ocean was cool. |
