| I have lived in Bar Harbor for awhile, but only when some family came to visit did I go on this trip. It was amazing. I would recommend to anyone, but if you have kids, especially in the 4 - 12 age range, they shouldn't miss it. As a teacher, I was amazed and how much everyone laughed, while at the same time a very wild character gave them real marine biology and local content. My sister-in-law almost passed out, she was laughing so much. The underwater pictures were amazing, the narrative great, and the trip went by without a hitch. However, remember that it is Maine and with any breeze it can get cool, so really dress warmly, you can always take off layers. Having a love for dogs is helpful (2 big newfies slowly roam around the boat collecting head rubs for much of the ride). We were out for a bit longer than the scheduled two hours, so I wouldn't make any immediate reservations for after the trip, perhaps stop by the College of the Atlantic natural history museum on the way out, or if you are early. | ||||||

Highly educational in a fun and interactive way

| I would highly recommend the "Dive In Theater Boat Cruise of Bar Harbor" to anyone, adult or child, but especially for families looking for quality experiences and school groups. Diver Ed and Captain Evil and staff are true professionals who seem to have a deep concern for safety and security, but know how to teach groups in an absolutely fun, educational, and participatory way. When we get to immerse ourselves in an experiential manner and walk away actually remembering facts and details, it is a truly educational and memorable experience. The Dive In Theatre also teaches kindness, love, and a deep concern for our watery environments. My only recommendation is perhaps the person who gives the initial commentary while the boat is working it's way to the diving spot, be more professional, perhaps a trained tour guide. Our gentleman was fun, but did not introduce himself, made some comments that were judgemental about wealthy families on MDI, held personal conversations with children while still on microphone, so not everyone was privvy to what was being said. Other than that (which is pretty minimal), it was a truly memorable experience. | ||||||

Unique and Entertaining Experience

| Diver Ed's Dive-In Theater was a blast for our entire family! Ed and his crew were friendly and entertaining with a fun sense of humor. His sense of adventure was contagious, and we all learned new things about diving and the ocean life he brought up for us to see on the boat. We were able to hold starfish, sea-cucumbers, lobsters, sand dollars, and more. Watching him on the screen and hearing his commentary while he was exploring the abundant underwater sea life was fascinating, knowing he was right underneath us! It was one of the most memorable parts of our vacation. Highly recommended, especially for families with kids! | ||||||

| Fantastic! Diver Ed, Captain Evil, Mini-Ed, and the pups are not to be missed. It was a perfect blend of education, comedy, and natural wonders. It was one of the high points of our trip to Bar Harbor. | ||||||

| This is now out fourth time for my family on the Diver Ed. cruise. My children, ages 7 and 11, have enjoyed Diver Ed since they were very small. Ed is extremely good with children and plays with them alot during the boat program. Ed's high definition underwater camera gives an AMAZING picture of the ocean floor. Diver Ed makes learning about ocean creatures and underwater sea life fun and interesting for the children. Diver Ed is an invaluable asset to the Bar Harbor community and this boat tour is a MUST for anyone traveling in the area with children. I believe Diver Ed also changes his tour during the fall season to be more directed toward the adult tourist. This is truly an excellent experience and has proven to be worthwhile each time we have gone. Advanced reservations for this program during the summer season are highly recommended.

Diver Ed is the Best!!!

| In a word, this trip was AWESOME! Diver Ed and Captain Evil are great with the kids (and the adults). Whether cracking jokes from 65 feet under the sea or explaining the creatures he brings back up with him, Ed is the consumate professional. Captain Evil is the sweetest lady you'll ever meet. This is the ultimate playdate for a kid! Highly entertaining and educational as well. Hands on learning at it's slippery, slimy best! If you go to Bar Harbor with kids, DO THIS - Period!!! (P.S. Don't forget to kiss the lobster!) | ||||||

Amazing Experience

| We have three children (2 four year old boys and a 6 year old daughter). This trip was the highlight of our vacation for them - and a big highlight for us, too. Diver Ed and his wife are fabulous with kids, and the experience is one you can not create for yourselves. My children held starfish, sea stars, sea cucumbers, lobsters and crabs. They loved seeing the live video camera of Diver Ed on the ocean floor, and learned a lot about the marine life in Maine. We will definately go back! | ||||||

| Very entertaining - with a great sense of humor; Ed was very knowledgable yet presented his information in such a kid-friendly, humorous way! The kids just loved it (ages 4 and 6) and played for a long time with the sea animals. They were so excited and talked about it a lot. The video underwater was wonderful - I have never seen some of these animals. Great camera! | ||||||

| My 4-year old daughter absolutely loved the tour, and even after a week, she hasn't stopped talking about 'Diver Ed'. She has told everyone about it! I also have high praise for the park ranger that led the tour, 'Ranger Eleanor'. She was great with the kids and adults and helped round out the experience. | ||||||

| Diver Ed, Mini-Ed, Captian Evil and the crew work hard to provide a great family experience. Special thanks to Halo and Levi for keeping us safe. Our three year old daughter had a blast. She and everyone aboard had ample opportunity to touch and hold a variety of bottom dwelling sea creatures from the bay. You will laugh and learn at the same time. | ||||||

| Our childrens' ages range from 5 - 18 and we all enjoyed the adventure. One of the teens said it was the best part of their week long adventure in Acadia. Diver Ed provided an entertaining education. A great note to end our vacation on. Thanks Diver Ed, Captain Evil and Halo (no not the game) and Levi. Well done! | ||||||

| This was a wonderful experience! Diver Ed and Evil Edna were lovely people and provided fun and laughs along with a very knowledgeable commentary on the sea creatures that Ed found. The quality of the undersea images we saw was superb, thanks to the top-grade camera equipment on board. This is no ordinary boat trip - it's a definite must-do for families vacationing in or near Bar Harbor. | ||||||
