| My 5 and 7 year old grandchildren were visiting me in Bar Harbor this summer and I booked us "passage" on Diver Ed's boat - they LOVED it and are still talking about it weeks later. Not only was it an adventure, but they learned about the sea life Diver Ed hauled aboard for them to touch and kiss. They can't wait to visit me and Diver Ed again next summer! | ||||||

Vacation Highlight for 4-year-old AND adults

| The "Dive In Theater" experience was a huge hit with our family--which included a preschooler, parents, and grandparents. We went out our first day in Bar Harbor and we've talked about some aspect of the trip every day since. Diver Ed is phenomenal--adept at engaging both kids and adults with his enthusiasm and wit. Despite her nickname, Captain Evil was warm and informative--our daughter was convinced that she runs the show, because Diver Ed probably isn't too good at following directions. She and Deckhand Dick provided amusing color commentary while Diver Ed trawled the harbor's bottom or was otherwise occupied. Our daughter has sensory integration dysfunction and is often fearful of/repelled by novel sensory experiences (touch and sound, especially), so although she was looking forward to the "Dive In," we weren't sure how she would do. Diver Ed invites all the children to come close and actively participate in the animal presentation--but afterwards, he, DH Dick and CE circulate with the animals to all onboard to see in a very non-threatening way. Our daughter touched both the sea star and lobster during this portion of the program. Touching the animals was a big deal for her--and it has deepened her interest in the oceans and sealife. Aside from the opportunity to view firsthand the abundance of life in the harbor, it was amazing (as an adult) to learn about the technical challenges of this unique enterprise. I will recommend the "Dive In" experience to EVERY PERSON I KNOW headed for Mount Desert Island--and plan to return on future visits to the area. | ||||||

| Loved every minute. There was plenty to see around us as we traveled to the dive spot. The camera work and hands-on look at sea creatures was interesting to us adults as well as the youngest children on the boat. The tour guides were very knowledgeable and held our interest. | ||||||

| A truly unique experience whereby you can experience undersea life like you've never seen it before. Not only is it interesting, but Dived Ed is very entertaining in a goofy, John Belushi-like way. Don't miss this trip if you're in the area. | ||||||

| We ave taken several of the National Park Park Ranger boat cruises on past visits to such as the Baker Island cruise, this one with Diver Ed is the best for little kids. Diver Ed, his wife Captain Evil and the Park Ranger put on a fun and informative boat cruise. After finding a good place to anchor, Diver Ed puts on his diving suit and goes under water to find lobsters, crabs, star fish and sea cucumbers to bring back up to the boat. Also an under water camera in dropped to him so the we can see what he sees under water on a big projection screen on the boat. This boat cruise was a fun activity for everyone. Boat cruise was during last week of August 2008. | ||||||

| Diver Ed is an extremely personable, FUNNY, informative guide who makes the undersea world of Bar Harbor interesting to anyone with even the faintest interest in marine life. His unique style combines high-tech live underwater video transmission with a thorough knowledge of his subject, and terrific humor. Half the customers on our boat hardly understood English and definitely looked like they were having a great time. Our waitress at dinner told us about Diver Ed the night before, and we are so glad she did! | ||||||

Best Tour for Kids and Adults Alike!

| My husband and I were hesitant to book this tour (8/27/08) thinking our kids (9 and 11) were maybe a bit too old. It was my daughter's birthday and she wanted to go fishing. But 4 hours on a fishing boat was way too long and we all decided to try this instead. Both she and my son thoroughly enjoyed themselves! Ed and Edna and Dick were so great with the kids and I think the adults had as much fun as anyone. Mini Ed was our personal favorite! My kids enjoyed this trip WAY more that the whale watch trip. If you have young kids, this is the trip for you. p.s. Ed - Jennifer says thanks for making this the best thing about her 9th birthday! Maybe next time we'll get her to wear that sea star tower. | ||||||

Diver Ed... Educationally Awesome!

| We had done the tour last summer and was completely amazed! Our son, who was 3 at the time remembered everything that Diver Ed taught during the sea adventure. We went with our nephew who was 2 years old. Both boys held a lobster... amongst other cool sea animals. Diver Ed's educational tour is invaluable and unforgettable. This summer, our niece (5 y.o.) joined us b/c she is deathly afraid of touching or seeing animals... let alone, a slimy sea creature. By the end of the tour, she was kissing a blood sea star. We highly recommend this activity. The tickets are reasonably priced for what you get in return... children who have a new sense of adventure and love for the sea. Don't worry, the adults have a great time watching the kids giggle and seeing Diver Ed in underwater superhero action! - The Emmers, Morristown, NJ 08.26.2008 | ||||||

| WE HAD SEEN THE SHOW LAST YEAR WITH OUR 9 YEAR OLD SON. WHEN WE MADE OUR TRIP THIS YEAR, THIS SHOW WAS ON THE TOP OF THE LIST TO DO AGAIN. I CAN'T COUNT THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE WE TOLD ABOUT THE SHOW, NOT BEING ABLE TO GET THE REAL JIST OF IT. WE TOTALLY ENJOYED IT AND WE ALL WILL LOOK FORWARD TO NEXT YEAR WHEN WE COULD SEE IT AGAIN. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK. | ||||||

| We were camping in Acadia and went on a trip with Diver Ed and Captain Evil. The whole trip was perfect in every way. Diver Ed and Captain Evil and knowledgeable, energetic, and caring. They are skilled at handling children (and adults) with a gentle hand but keeping the right balance of chaos and order. The camera they use to show what is going on under th sea is spectacular. We loved every minute of the trip and plan to return next year and send as many people as we can on this wonderful adventure. | ||||||

| It was very entertaining for our three year old boy. He enjoyed the diver, the video, and especially the touch tank. As an adult, it was fine, but, the program is directed towards the kids. I was surprised to hear some adults on the trip complain that the boat was anchored for most of the trip (when the diver was collecting specimens and when the kids were playing with the animals). It seemed obvious to me that the boat would be anchored and it really wasn't bad at all. In summary, we'll be back next year-kids and adults to see Diver Ed and Captain Evil. | ||||||
