Lots of family fun!
Thu, Jun 26, 08   1:30 PM antel_family Female 40-49 Unspecified Family With Children
The boat ride was smooth and comfortable and our children 4 and 3 loved it. We had friends with us and their children are 4 and 5. Both families had a blast! The adults got to touch creatures we had never touched (or seen) before. The staff and Diver Ed have great personalities and make it fun. We opted for the longer ride with the park ranger and got to see harbor seals and an eagle as well as other birds. The only suggestion I have is to do the ranger part after the diving because of the kids were anxious for Diver Ed to go under!

amusing, informative, enjoyable. I've already raved to many other potential customers who love vacationing in Maine and have children.

Diver Ed was very enjoyable and educational.
Thu, Jun 26, 08   1:30 PM janinebrouwe Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
The Diver Ed activity includes a nice boat cruise; viewing of seabirds, eagles, seals, islands, and a lighthouse; and, the highlight, participation via live videofeed in Diver Ed's exploration of the ocean floor. This offered a great look at the creatures which live under the sea, particularly when many of them were brought aboard the ship for close-up viewing and even touching! The combination of presentations by Diver Ed, his wife (the boat captain), and the National Park ranger made the information educational and entertaining, a nice mix. Our children ranged in age from nine to fourteen and all enjoyed the cruise very much. The boat crew was very attentive to comfort, adjusting plastic window sheeting as needed when water spray started to blow into the boat and get passengers wet. They seemed to genuinely enjoy showing folks the sea creatures and took care to be sure everyone had plenty of time to examine everything. While this cruise was a bit pricey, we were out for three and a half hours, so we felt it was money well spent, given the time we had out on the water and the things we learned.

great for kids

Diver Ed is entertaining as heck. The kids love him. It is great to see what it looks like under the water - which I find is nothing like I would expect it to. Kids love the "eeeew-y" stuff, and Diver Ed always seems to come up with some of that! Besides being great fun, I hope it is teaching the children about loving our Bay and respecting the creatures that live in it.

A great hands-on experience!

I enjoyed Diver Ed's sense of humor and ease with kids and adults alike, and Edna's natural science knowledge gave the experience context. Our kids (2 1/2 and 4) really enjoyed seeing Diver Ed as he collected specimens and then getting to hold them and explore them up close. Ed and the crew's sense of humor, enthusiasm, and knowledge tied it all together into a fun trip for all!

My husband and I took our two children, ages 3 and 6, on the Diver Ed Dive-In Theater Boat Cruise. We had a blast! Diver Ed and his crew are knowledgeable and entertaining. I highly recommend Diver Ed for kids of all ages.

Brought my granddaughter so I could go!

I have been to Bar Harbor for many years and try to come each year. Being from the midwest area I miss the ocean and love Maine...but this trip my granddaughter accompanied me and I thought this would be fun for her.....she loves all creatures. But was I ever surprised when I found myself glued to the screen as Diver Ed explored the ocean floor with his camera......WOW it was thrilling to see the lobster move with such speed...and backwards......and I learned so much... Oh by the way.......my granddaughter had a smile on her face the entire time......Diver Ed is a hoot and his dogs are gems........I would highly recommend this adventure for young and old......alike...........don't miss it! Both Diver Ed and his wife make the trip such a delight......really worth the money......

Fantastic Experience for Kids
Sun, Jun 29, 08   1:30 PM ettzerve Male 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
Diver Ed's enthusiasm for sea life and for sharing it with the kids made this tour one of the highlights of our trip. Our 6 year old had a great time learning about the sea cucumbers, sea stars, and lobsters while getting drenched by Diver Ed's antics. My family enjoyed this tour so much.

Diver Ed is a Must For All Children of All Ages!
Mon, Jun 30, 08   1:30 PM ha3ryo Female 40-49 Local Family With Children
We took our 5 and 6 year old sons on this trip, and it is was amazing. We learned so much about the ocean and never laughed so hard at the same time. Our sons wanted to go back the next day. Unforgetable highlight of our summer. There were teenagers on the boat enjoying themselves just as much as my five year old. Great event for any age. You will want to go back.

DiverEd Is Our Favorite Maine Adventure
Mon, Jun 30, 08   1:30 PM dcorrell Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
This was our third year on DiverEd, our whole family loves it that much. This combination diving expedition with HD camera (only Ed and mini-Ed get wet, mostly) and hands-on exploration of the local marine life is fun for all (we take 3 generations on board), and especially great for the age 4-11 crowd. Not to be missed.

Diver Ed was great - we enjoyed the show!
Tue, Jul 1, 08   1:30 PM Margrit Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
We took our 3 year old son on this cruise because it seemed to be more geared to children - my son was glued to the screen showing Diver Ed underwater collecting different sea creatures and then all the children (and adults) got to hold the various creatures - there was plenty of creatures to go around - the amount of people on the boat was not too big, so everyone could hear the ranger narrating and see what was being discussed - if you have kids, this is the cruise to take.

Dive-in Theater was highlight of our fabulous week
Tue, Jul 1, 08   1:30 PM BrianDiamond Male 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
My family just returned from a fabulous week spent in Acadia National Park and the Bar Harbor area. We spent the week camping, hiking, kayaking and exploring this wonderful area. My wife and I have a 7 year old daughter and 4 year old son. Both rated the 3 hour experience aboard Ed's Dive-in Theater tour the highlight of their week. We would recommend this experience as a must for any family visiting Bar Harbor or Acadia National Park.
