| My family definitely recommends this activity to any individuals or families who are interested in a well-run, educational experience which is sure to be barrels of fun! We had a wonderful time during the 2-hour excursion and have already recommended it to several friends. Our children seized the opportunity to observe, touch and ask questions about the various sea creatures which Diver Ed and Captain Evil showed to us. We loved it !!! | ||||||

| Diver Ed's Dive-Time Theater is the most fun kids can have in Bar Harbor - definitely will be one of their highlights of the summer, especially if the kids have any interest in animals or what happens under the surface of the ocean. The trip far, far exceeded our expectations. Diver Ed is a natural with kids - entertaining and educational. The crew is very friendly accommodating and helpful. My wife forgot to bring her accu-pressure bands for sea-sickness, and Captain Evil had a set for her to use and even a variety of other sea-sickness remedies for her to try if the bands failed. My son talked about the trip all week long, and is still telling us about sea cucumbers, hermit crabs, etc. | ||||||

| We really enjoyed the Diver Ed experience. It was not the greatest weather day, but we were so happy we decided to go forward with the trip. The ticket process with Zerve was great. Diver Ed and Captain Evil were fantastic. I think that the kids - we had 5 adults and 5 kids in our group - really enjoyed themselves. The concept of Ed diving with the digital camera and then bringing up stuff for the kids to touch and feel was unique. If there was one thing that I would comment on from a negative perspective it would be the dogs on the boat. One of my children is pretty petrified of dogs. While they were out of the way (up front) for some of the trip, things were fine. But, during the times they were out in the boat area, he was a nervous wreck. Newfoundlands are really big dogs and to my 7 year old, it was distracting. Not sure if it is practical to keep them stowed for a whole trip, but we could have done without the dogs. All in all, this was a great way to spend a couple of hours. Diver Ed was personable, funny and even educational! | ||||||

| We attended the trip with children; however, I would have enjoyed it just as much as a couple on a date. Diver Ed was very knowledgeable and personable. I was impressed when he greeted each guest by name and asked a few questions about them. His presentation of the animals was not only educational but spontaneous and entertaining. I would highly recommend this excursion for all ages. It was one of the highlights of our New England vacation. | ||||||

| My sister and I and our 4 kids went on Diver Ed's tour recently and we loved every minute ! We actually took the longer version of the trip with the park ranger. We saw so many things. We were lucky enough to watch an eagle diving for fish. The park ranger was good and very informative but we LOVED Diver Ed and Mini Ed. He and Captain Evil were very friendly and good with the kids. Diver Ed showed us many things that we hadn't seen before (the biggest sea cucumber ever!) and let the kids hold everything and even put the starfish on their heads. He was very funny and fun to watch and listen to. The kids still talk about the trip every day and say it is one of their favorite things that we did while on vacation. We can't recommend this trip enough. If you only get to do one boat trip while in Maine make this the one. You won't regret it. | ||||||

A unique chance to touch Bar Harbor

| We loved this boat ride! My boys (ages 6 and 8) were totally engaged the entire trip. They loved Diver Ed's furry dogs and interesting facts. Getting to actually touch the ocean creatures made a lasting impression with all of us. The first thing the boys did when we got home was to pull out their Playmobile toys and continue mini-Ed's ocean adventure in their room. | ||||||

| I took a high school friend and her grandddaughter out w/ Diver Ed and we all had a great time! Ed and Edna do a TERRIFIC JOB! Lady Liberty needs more experience and a little of Ed and Edna's enthusiasm to complete the wonderful time. Overall, we had a great time! | ||||||

| Diver Ed was extremely engaging - you can tell he loves what he does. He's great with the kids - really silly and fun. My son is 4 years old and on the autism spectrum. Although he was distracted during the boat ride, he loved getting to touch all the sea life and when we ask him what he liked about Maine he says "the crabs, the lobsters and the cocoon" (meaning the sea cucumber). I would definitely recommend. | ||||||

Very fun and well prepared!

| Our group consisted of my 80-year-old mother, myself, my husband, and our 3-year-old son. Diver Ed and Captain Edna were very attentive to my mother with helping her get on and off the boat. They were very good with my son as well. We all had a great time. My son especially loved handling the sea cucumbers and starfish that Diver Ed brought up. Unfortunately, this trip showed that I get seasick. This occurred while Diver Ed was diving, so there was no way to get me to shore. Captain Edna immediately provided me with Seabands accupressure bracelets which she had on board, which helped greatly, but not quite enough. She then produced Dramamine and a bottle of water for me. She and the deck hand, Libby, were very concerned and kept a close watch on me while staying calm and continuing with the show for the rest of the passengers. When Diver Ed got back on the boat, Captain Edna quietly alerted him to the situation and they were prepared to cut short the trip if necessary, but the combination of the bracelets and Dramamine were sufficient for the show to go on. Both Diver Ed and Captain Edna checked in with me frequently for the remainder of the trip. I cannot speak highly enough of them for their concern, calm handling, and preparedness for this episode I have only one cautionary comment (other than taking Dramamine ahead of time if you think you might get seasick). If you do not like dogs, this is not the trip for you. In addition to all the people on the boat, there are two large (and friendly) Newfoundland dogs aboard. Quarters get a bit crowded at times, and the dogs aren't above sticking very large heads into your lap for attention. I like dogs, and it didn't bother me, but it might be a cause of concern for some people. | ||||||

| This was our second year with Diver Ed and Captain Evil as well as their beautiful Newfoundlands. Their love of ocean life and Frenchman's Bay is evident in their two hour scenic, entertaining and educational tour. We saw and touched lobster, crabs, clams, seastars, sea cucumbers, etc. We also viewed porpoise families jumping and bald eagles flying over. Combined with the beautiful views it could not have been better. Just remember to bring sunscreen and water! Thanks Ed and Evil for another great experience the kids and adults are still talking about! The Englebright Family from Kentucky- Mac, Emerson, Beth and Ty | ||||||

| This is the 2nd time we've gone out on Diver Ed's boat and our kids love it. Diver Ed, Captain Evil and Deckhand Dick are wonderful educators and entertainers. We go to Maine every summer and Diver Ed is always top our list. Our 4 and 6 year old boys love it -- we love it too. Pure joy. | ||||||

| We were very pleased with the Diver Ed cruise. The camera work underwater is VERY interesting (for the adults too) and the kids love helping Diver Ed with his drysuit and then had a great time touching the animals when they come up. We also saw seals and a bald eagle. The staff was entertaining and very nice. Great activity for kids ages 4-12 or so, or for well-behaved toddlers (our daughter is 2.5 and did well). | ||||||

| If I was only going to do one thing in BAR HARBOR with or without kids this would be it. Diver Ed was funny and educational. We ALL loved it. It was real!!!! So opposite of Disney. Loved everything about it. His passion for the ocean was contagious. Would definitely do it again!!!!!!!!! | ||||||

| Diver Ed, Captain Evil Edna, and Deckhand Dick provided a wonderfully fun, educational, and inspirational time on the boat. The wackiness is loved by the kids (and adults, too), but it's obvious that Diver Ed has a clear set of educational objectives and a plan to accomplish those objectives. I saw a lot, learned a lot, and came away impressed with the experience. What was most appreciated by me was that _every_ child's participation was important to Ed and his crew (in other words, the most reserved children received as much attention as the most boisterous). My kids are incredibly reserved, and typically during activities like this they are lost in the loud crowd. That was not the case with Diver Ed. . . he is a man on a mission and he's making sure everyone is on board with him. (and Captain Evil is just about the sweetest person we've ever met. . . she's awesome with the kids!) | ||||||
