AN AWESOME TIME!!!
Wed, Aug 12  1:30 PM Rosie6789 Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
We just had a great time from beginning to end!! It was an enjoyable experience and we look so forward to coming back next year, my only concern is I want to bring my parents and they cannot make that walk to the boat. Diver Ed was funny, entertaining and just fun to watch. We hope to see him with his own show someday. You can tell he loves kids and his job and that really makes a difference!! What a great experience, thank you so much!!!! Also very educational as well, just a well rounded fun adventure!!

Diver Ed combines education with comedy!
Tue, Aug 11  1:30 PM garronc Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
We had a fantastic tour with Diver Ed and Ranger Angi King Jonhston. The staff on the boat, coupled with Ranger Angi, were well-versed in the creatures under the sea, as well as the birds that live in Acadia. The underwater camera allowed Ed to show pictures of the animals' habitat, but also used humor to keep kids of various ages engaged. He and Angi would get excited about the animals we saw on the way out to the dive site, and the creatures he brought on board for the kids (all of us!) to touch were great as well. We were lucky enough to see bald eagles, seals, otters and porpoises on this cruise -- as well as all of the sea creatures Diver Ed brought up for us to see up close. It was a great trip -- and we will remember it for a long time to come!

The echinoderm affair
Tue, Aug 11  9:30 AM sarahemma Female 40-49 Local Group of Friends
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.

The Best Activity on our Trip
Mon, Aug 10  5:30 PM chuck328 Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
Our family had a great time on this boat trip. We have a 10 yr old, 3 yr old and 16 month old so it's hard to find an activity that satisfies everyone. The underwater HD camera was great - amazing pictures of the underwater sea life with mini-diver ED. The kids loved picking up the animals and learning about them "Diver Ed" style. Great for kids of all ages - we will definitately go on this again in our next trip to Bar Harbor.

Jack Black meets the Discovery Channel
Mon, Aug 10  5:30 PM Ti22SI Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
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 all loved it!
Sun, Aug 9  1:30 PM GALECADDOO Female 60-69 Local Family With Children
Mixed group of mostly family and a few friends. Children were 3 to 7 years old. Some were from away. We had a great time, young and old. Funny and fast paced so the children didn't get bored. We will probably do it again.

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!!

BEST PART OF THE FAMILY VACATION!!!!!!!!
Fri, Aug 7  9:30 AM amylevesque Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
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.

Unique and enjoyable for kids and adults
Thu, Aug 6  1:30 PM johnherlihy Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
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.
Thu, Aug 6  1:30 PM mstevens47 Female 60-69 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
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.

Entertaining for people of all ages!
Thu, Aug 6  9:30 AM mparker59 Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
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.
