Diver Ed & crew's enthusiasm provided a great combination of comedy, entertainment and education. Our 5 year old has not stopped talking about our experience with Ed and crew since we went a week ago. We Will be going back again next year.

Diver Ed and Captain Evil did a great job. I would recommend this 2 1/2 hour tour to anyone of any age. It was very informative as well as tremendously entertaining!!

Exceptional fun, education for kids and adults
Sat, Jul 12, 08   1:30 PM davidplefeve Male 60-69 Local Family With Children
Oustanding, fast-paced, one-of-a-kind adventure. The 7 and 11-year olds were engaged every minute. Lots of silly fun, mixed with incredible ocean-bottom sights, hands-on with sea creatures, and educational information. What a great time -- and a uniquely Maine experience.

3rd time for us - always fun
Fri, Jul 11, 08   1:30 PM slawlor Male 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
Diver Ed and Captain Evil really make learning fun! We first went on the trip about 5 years ago and the kids absolutely loved it. now they are 12 and 15, and they still loved it! It's because Ed and the crew are still very enthusiastic about what they do. And they have invested in their business - better video quality, and live audio link with Ed while he is on the bottom. We'll be back! Our only complaint is that when we booked the trip through Zerve we were asked if anyone in our party was celebrating a special event. We were - it was my mother-in-law's birthday on the day we sailed, and we noted that on the reservation. Ed and crew made no mention of the birthday during the trip, which was a little disappointing.

Fantastic family fun!
Wed, Jul 9, 08   1:30 PM rjhilb Male 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
Diver Ed and his mates are full throttle fun with awesome learning for the kids. Ed's manner with the kids is first rate, you can tell he really cares and wants the kids to love the sea and its creatures as much as he and his wife do. The underwater camera and microphone truly add to the event. A trip to Bar Harbor is not complete without a visit to Diver Ed's!

Best Boat Tour In Bar Harbor!!
Wed, Jul 9, 08   9:30 AM ornicephalus Male 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
Diver Ed's dive in theater is the most entertaining and educational boat tour in Bar Harbor! Diver Ed's enthusiasm, love of nature, and passion for teaching can only be compared to such animal greats as Jeff Corwin and Steve Irwin! If you don't see Diver Ed when you're in Bar Harbor, you've missed the boat!

Worth the money
Tue, Jul 8, 08   1:30 PM brianjbrodie Male 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
Diver Ed was terrific. The video in the water was clear and the action was both educational and actually very humorous. Mini-Ed, a Playmobil figure, was a valiant entertainer as he "dove" with Ed. My kids (6 and 8) enjoyed every part of the trip. We took the trip with the National Park Ranger.

One of the single best "must do" things on MDI
Tue, Jul 8, 08   9:30 AM douglasdesi Male 50-59 Combination Family With Children
I entered into this whole Diver Ed thing with a good amount of skepticism but I figured what the heck - my sister in law was visiting with her kids so I took a couple of my kids and off we went. I should add that I am a professional biologist who is here each summer working at one of the biolabs on MDI. So, there I was, feeling like a know-it-all just waiting for Ed and crew to slip up or saying something stupid or without much real educational content. Wow, was I ever wrong! Ed and crew (including the dogs) are the real deal. You could just see the excitement and smiles build on each kid (and adults face) as the clock ticked by - by the end we were all beaming and I was ready to go out again that afternoon! Great commentary on the way around the harbor (other boats, seals, eagles, history lessons, biographies - awesome) and the idea of this "dive-in theatre" is absolutely brilliant. The highlight is Diver Ed himself - he brings the place alive and just connects with the kids as well or better than anyone I've ever seen. And the content was informative, engaging and just a whole lot of fun. Every school should have a Diver Ed to teach our kids about our world and the precious life that swarms on land and in the sea. The way he described the life history of things like sea stars, lobsters, sea cucumbers and a lot of other stuff was wonderful. I don't know how you work yourself up to putting on a dry suit and jumping in twice a day with "Mini-Ed" and still manage this level of energy. Hats off to Ed and crew - you guys are the best. My simple advice - just go and do this folks....!! And Ed - if you are ever looking for more crew, please keep me in mind!

Perfect activity for families with children
Sat, Jul 5, 08   1:30 PM herbsims Male 60-69 Combination Family With Children
As a family with grown children we enjoyed the trip just as much as those with smaller children. It was very impressive to see how Diver Ed and Capt. Evil worked with the children and at the same time involved the adults. Overall it was an educational and entertaining experience well worth our time. We enjoyed it very much and have recommended it to other visitors to BH.

Don't Miss It If You're In Bar Harbor!
Sat, Jul 5, 08   9:30 AM taepke1 Male 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
My wife, 10 year old daughter and I were repeat visitors to Diver Ed's trip. This trip is highly entertaining and educational. Diver Ed gets the kids actively involved in the process of learning about the animals that live in the sea. After his dive Ed (along with dive partner "Mini-Ed") brings a collection bag of animals to the boat for everyone to touch and interact with. He talks about each animal, explaining its life cycle, eating habits and other interesting facts. Among the animals that he brought aboard were sea stars, urchins, crabs, lobsters and sea cucumbers. Ed's presentation is hilarious as well as informative. I can't recommend his trip highly enough! Ray Hooton Clarkston, MI

Great time for all!
Fri, Jul 4, 08   9:30 AM jskowron Male 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
The Dive In Theater was a great time. Our two kids (ages 7 and almost 5) said it was the highlight of the trip. Diver Ed really seems to enjoy his job and provided an educational and enthusiastic program. From the trip out to the dive area, to the dive and video show, to the "touch the sea creatures" portion, he and his crew (Captain Evil, Lady Libberty, Leviathan, and Halo) had the whole family entertained. The use of Mini-Ed #89 during the dive was very clever and funny. I would recommend the trip to anybody looking for a fun and informative vacation activity.
