The echinoderm affair

| One of the best investments of our summer vacation dollars this season. Our 9:30 Diver Ed Cruise mastered the fine balance between entertainment and education. We laughed and learned and were sad when it was over. The working dynamics of Diver Ed, Capt. Evil and Little Ed are just right. Little Ed's love affair for all things briny, spiny, and slimey is a true testament to kids that all living things deserve love and respect. Thanks Diver Ed, Evil and Little Ed. It was a blast. | ||||||

| This outing was the highlight of our trip to Acadia. Diver Ed is a world class entertainer with an amazing repertoire of sea life knowledge. His supporting crew are also first rate. This is an activity that is fun for both adults and kids and a bit different with each trip - the vast majority of people on our trip had been out at least one time before. The Discovery Channel should discover this guy - seriously! | ||||||

| We really enjoyed our trip with Diver Ed. Our 4 yr old son was fascinated with Diver Ed's diving experience and camera action. The touch tanks and his presention was over the top. I highly recommend this activity. Enjoy!! | ||||||

| We laughed and laughed and learned. We were with a group that included toddlers, preschoolers, grade schoolers, middle schoolers, high schoolers and adults. everyone had a great time. I would definitely recommend this for families with kids of all ages. | ||||||

See what the ocean floor looks like

| Diver Ed is an interesting guy and looks like he likes to entertain, very active. It was really interesting when he went down with the camera and we got to see what the ocean floor really looks like. Captain Evil did a good job at answering questions on the local waters. After brining up the sea creatures that he found on camera I felt that he spent too much time letting us touch and feel them. Most of the boat saw what he brought up in the museum’s tank before the cruise. I found the underwater camera part to be the most interesting. More time with the camera under the water and less time above water with the catch. Overall it was a good time and I would recommend as an attraction when in Bar Habor. | ||||||

| 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. | ||||||

| On the way out, we saw harbor porpoises. Then the boat anchored on the lee side of an island where the sea was perfectly still and calm. It was a gorgeous day. Diver Ed entertained/explained all as he prepared to dive and then had the little kids "push" him in, except he did a back flip on his way off the boat! Immediately he communicated with the boat passengers via microphone from under water. Captain Edna could talk back to him as well. She told us about his underwater camera while he hunted up some animals to bring back to the boat. Then he surfaced to fetch the camera, took it back down, and we watched very high definition video live from the bottom of the ocean while he continued to tell us about what he was looking at, and Edna explained as well. The screen is in the upper, darkened part of the boat so it is easy to see from any of the nice new bench seats. (The entire boat is brand new this year because the old one was destroyed in a storm last fall that dragged it from its mooring onto land.) Diver Ed takes Mini Ed down with him as a "ruler" to give perspective to the size of the animals on camera, which can be anywhere from teeny tiny starfish or crabs to 42" lobster. Diver Ed is the only diver in the State of Maine with a permit to bring up lobster. After the video show, he brings up all the animals and educates the passengers about them one at a time. The kids are laughing so hard they don't even know they are learning things. It is wonderful. After explaining about all the animals, everyone gets to touch and handle the animals as much as they want to, subject to stern rules (no pinching, squeezing, twisting, pulling of the live animals!). Then everyone says goodbye to the animals and they return them to the sea. Then the boat goes back, possibly seeing more wildlife on the way in: porpoise, seal, eagle, osprey, etc. We absolutely love Diver Ed and have gone every time we visit Maine since we were lucky enough to stumble upon him the first year he started the Dive In Theater, 2000. | ||||||

| The 2.5 hour trip is an excellent outing for young children. Diver Ed has a way of communicating on a kids level. He was entertaining, very funny, and kept the kids interested. The high definition video during his diving was amazing. (The audio was a little difficult to hear though.) My kids couldn't stop talking about it. This outing was our kids favorite part of the entire vacation! | ||||||

| Not only was this a 2+ hour trip to see nature at the bottom of the bay, but Diver Ed and his wife Captain Evil were very entertaining. My 8 and 3 year olds had an absolutely great time. Diver Ed kept everyone laughing most of the trip. Highly recommended. | ||||||

Diver Ed is a blast for kids!

| We did this with our kids and our nieces (kids ranging in age from 3 to 8) and they all loved it. Diver Ed is funny, full of energy and really, really nice - he's goofy and the kids loved him. They also learned a lot about the local sea creatures, and Ed held their attention the whole time (the 3 year old got a little antsy, but the older kids loved every minute). Everyone I know who's done the trip says good things about it. It's absolutely worth checking out if you're in Acadia with younger kids. | ||||||

Diver Ed - LOVED IT!

| Diver Ed and Evil Edna Dive in Theater was a wonderful time for the whole family! We were travelling with another family and I am sure it was the highlight of our vacation for our three boys. Eddie is wonderful with the kids and really knows his stuff when he is under the very cold water. It was fun for us to watch the interaction with the kids. There was truly wonder in their eyes when Eddie is under the water searching for creatures. Then when he re-emerges with lobster, sea stars, scallops, and sea cucumbers, well they just went crazy! I highly recommend the Diver Ed tour. I’ve vacationed in Maine many times, but never have I gotten such a hands on experience of the natural environment that makes up the wonder and beauty of the area. It was chilly on the water - so bring jackets and socks! | ||||||

| 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. | ||||||

| Thanks very much to Diver Ed, Captain Evil, and Mini Ed! My family had a terrific morning out. The interactive nature of your tour is one-of-a-kind and I would highly recommend it (in fact, we did so several times as we met other families elsewhere on the island). The crew's enthusiasm was infectious and my kids had a blast. See you again! | ||||||

| Wow! That was just a fantastic trip. We loved every minute of it, kids and adults alike. Diver Ed is hilarious. He reminds me of John Belushi. I'm an educator, and I care so much about getting kids engaged in science and helping them to value the environment. What you are doing on these trips is phenomenal. The kids are learning by doing and laughing. My 6 yr old son remembered so many details as did my 4 year old niece. You guys are all terrific, and we can't wait to come back. Keep up the great work. I'm truly impressed. Laura Lindenfeld | ||||||
