| The Dive-In Theater Cruise was one of the best parts of our vacation. The whole family was able to enjoy and participate in the cruise. Diver Ed brings the ocean floor to you for you to see. We were able to see and touch lobsters, several types of crabs, sea urchins, several varieties of sea stars, sand dollars, and a sea cucumber. We also saw seals and bald eagles on the way to the dive site. The crew even took the time to pick out a piece of plastic from the water so no harm would come to any sea creature. They truly have a love for the ocean and all animal life. |

| 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

| we saw an eagle ,seals, and harbor porpoise before we even got to the dive location.
the dive was the best live look at the ocean bottom that i ever had.
Diver ed showed us all the critters on the bottom and then brought them up to the boat so we could handle them, and the ranger from acadia park explained each one.
I will go back on this trip when i get to acadia again |

| 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. |

| 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 wife, my granddaughter and I all enjoyed the ranger led cruise tremendously. Having done graduate work in Marine Biology and Oceanology I guess I was not expecting to see a program that was so authentic and accurate. I figured it would focus on the entertaining more than these things, It was interesting, enlightening and accurate as well as very entertaining. Diver Ed and Captain Evil are excellent presenters. The ranger was also very well prepared. We were in Bar Harbor/Acadia National Park for four weeks and saw and participated in many womderful things and the Diver Ed cruise was one of the most outstanding highlights. So thanks for a wonderful adventure! Bill Powers, Storrs, CT. |
