| My wife's parents live near Bangor, and we come up for a visit every summer to avoid some of the Phoenix heat. And each summer, we schedule a dive-in theater performance. The whole family has fun every time. | ||||||

| It was good but not great. Diver Ed was a bit over zealous for our 7 year old. | ||||||

| 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. | ||||||

| My daughter and family including three kids currently 6,9, and 11 visit me at my camp for two weeks every summer, and every summer we do two or three special things to have fun. I think this beats them all. Diver Ed and his wife are wonderful. It was fun for us all. Bring warm outerwear, water repellant if possible, I highly recommend this activity! | ||||||

BEST PART OF THE FAMILY VACATION!!!!!!!!

| My children are 8 & 4. There is not one thing they didn't like about the tour; starting with Diver Ed's singing, to having every child involved in some way, to talking to the kids at your level & educating them as well are the adults about all the sea creatures. My husband & I enjoyed it just as much as my children did. We are already looking forward to another tour with Diver Ed,Mini Ed & Captain Evil. | ||||||

| 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. | ||||||

Great Way to Spend An Afternoon.

| 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. | ||||||

| 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 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! | ||||||
