Dive-in Theater with Acadia National Park Ranger

My husband and I read about Diver Ed online prior to our trip to Bar Habor and we were excited for our 3 hour trip with Ed and a park ranger. Ed, and company, did not disappoint! From our 1st interactions with "Captain Evil", Ed's wife to our final good-byes to the crew, we were delighted. Ed has a genuineness about him and his sincere enthusiasm for his profession is quickly conveyed to the cruise participants. Ed is an average guy who loves to dive and explore. He explains his dive preparations in depth, took us through each step and we watched him disappear into the cold water. Immediately, he began sending video back to the boat of the magnigicent scenes he discovered 70 feet below. Beautiful and colorful video containing the most interesting creatures. Ed bagged up those creatures and toted them back to the boat for everyone to enjoy 1st hand. He fished out a 8 pound lobster and brought that up to, which made for spectacular photos! Huge starfish, sea cucumbers & urchins. What a delightful 3 hours - and I forgot to mention the ranger! She was so informative and sweet - the children on the boat loved her. All in all, this is a must do activity for all ages. You will be sorry you missed it! And - a note for the ladies - there is a restroom onboard.

My wife, 13 year old daugher and I were laughing so hard. It was a fantastic experience.

Our afternoon on Diver Ed's boat has become the highlight of our time in Bar Harbor. We saw birds, seals, porpoises, eagles, and lots of sea creatures. But the best part was Diver Ed, himself. He is a treat!

Diver Ed, the Park Ranger, and Captain evil were really great hosts and teachers on a fantastic trip on a rainy day.

We had a fantastic time. Would highly recommend. Our son (10 yrs old) loved it and so did the adults. Very cold!!!!! Dress warm!!!!!!!!

A unique experience - not to be missed

We had a blast with Diver Ed. We first heard of Diver Ed from a friend and are very glad we did. We have a 2 year old and 4 year old, both of whom got a lot out of the trip. Diver Ed and his wife are relaxed, comical and professional. There was also a park ranger and boat captain on our trip. The park ranger added some great educational stories on the ride out to the dive site. The kids loved seeing Diver Ed get in his dive gear. I knew that we would be able to see with his under water camera, but it was a nice surprise to be able to hear what he had to say while he was under water too. Being able to handle the animals found by Diver Ed was great fun for all of us. I have never considered becoming a diver for fear of sharks, but this gave me a great appreciation for the excitement of discovering new things under the sea. It also gives you a great sense of responsibility for all of the fragile life under the sea. I highly recommend this outing for anyone.

Excellent cruise. Very informative, and a whole lot of fun. I'd especially recommend to families with kids.

Lot of fun and educational at the same time. Worth the money

Diver Ed was the best activity we did during our vacation. Evil and Diver Ed were so funny and entertaining we forgot it was cold and rainy. The touch tank was a great experience as well as educational. The whole crew took the time to answer our questions and really get the crowd involved. We did other boat trips but this one was the BEST!! If you go to Maine you've got to see Diver Ed!!!
