The tour of Frenchman's Bay was a pleasant and informative way to spend an afternoon. The fun was in watching the diver as he found and retrieved creatures from the bottom of the bay. Then seeing the creatures up close and being able to touch them. |

An informative narative of live sea creatures who live under the water. Diver carries a camera with him under water so you view the sea creatures he sees and retreves into his bag to bring up for us to view and hold. The children loved it, and so did we. We saw also, sea lions, eagles, dolphins, an enjoyable day. Park ranger informative, captain, and diver and all aboard kind, helpful and knowedgable would recommend to anyone especially families much more interesting than a whale watch. thanks had a great time. |

Our extended family of 8 (4 kids ages 7-13 & grandparents) LOVED Diver Ed's tour. It was voted the favorite experience of our weeklong Bar Harbor vacation! We took the 3 hr tour with the park ranger. Ed loves what he does and has a hilarious way of showing everyone the wonderful world underneath the water. We all learned a lot and enjoyed getting to touch the sea creatures Ed brought up...including a 30 inch lobster. We would do this again! |

We have 2 kids (11 & 12) and we all enjoyed this excursion! Diver Ed was funny, knowledgeable and very friendly. It was amazing what he was able to find on his dive and the video you see of him underwater was fantastic! Then being able to touch and hold all the sea life he brings up was incredible! We took the National Park Ranger tour (an hour longer than the usual) and we also saw an eagle's nest, neat rck formations and lots of seals basking on the rocks. It was a trip we will all talk about for a long time! |

Our family took the trip with the ranger, and we absolutely loved it! Not only did we see great sea animals, and learn fascinating facts about them, but we also saw seals, porpoises, and bald eagles. It was a great value and we would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the beautiful area of Acadia. Diver Ed and Captain Evil are a dynamic duo! |

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! |

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! |

My family group numbering 24 people went on Diver Ed's cruise. The salesperson who handles the ticketing was very polite and patient and clear about all the details. The cruise with the Ranger was wonderful. The children all loved it and the explanations were great for all of us. Diver Ed was very friendly and with his wife made the trip very pleasant. This is highly recommended. |
