| Diver Ed and Captain Evil (I think that is the name he used, I call her Captain Edna) were superb hosts, educators and entertainers. Our grandson is 9 and our granddaughter is 12, both sat on the edge of their seats the entire trip. Diver Ed interacts with the group while walking along the ocean floor with Mini Ed. As he discoveres the sea creatures he shares the various aspects of each one. He then places them in a safe bag to bring onboard for all to see and touch. They had the opportunity to hold sea cucumbers, scallops, crabs, lobsters, sea stars, sand dollars, star fish and even a sponge; many in various sizes. We not only learned of the living sea creatures but also the equipment required to allow Diver Ed to walk along the ocean bottom. The kids had great fun "helping" him into the water and expanding his water suit upon his return to the boat. We recommend any kid at heart to join Diver Ed and Captain Edna on the Starfish Enterprise for a trip you will not soon forget. | ||||||

| The cruise sails from College of the Atlantic, which is fascinating in its own right. The program is excellent for adults who have an interest in Maine sea life and enjoy a cruise. The Park Ranger was both enthusiastic and very knowledgeable. Not only did we see eider ducks, gray & harbor seals, dolphins, gulls (of course), heard about the bird populations of the various islands circled, and viewed some of the lovely "cottages" along the cliffs, but then were enthralled with the video presentation of "Diver Ed'. He dives to the sea floor to collect specimens of starfish, lobsters, sea cucumber (the source of chondroitin!), and other life forms which we then were permitted to touch and examine closely before they were returned to their habitat. "Diver Ed" has a great partner in his wife, who gives a running commentary of what we are seeing on the video screen. It is a true bargain and delight and we were privileged to have the opportunity! Thanks! | ||||||

| My wife and I were looking for a cruise that our child would find interesting. The Dive-In Theater cruise fit the bill. Diver Ed and the Acadia National Park Ranger were friendly and entertaining. Our child loved watching the video being sent up to the boat by Diver Ed. She also enjoyed holding starfish, lobsters, crabs, snails, and a sea cucumber when Diver Ed came back to the surface. We HIGHLY recommend this cruise to anyone! | ||||||

| The trip was very interesting and educational. We brought our daughter and son in law out for an early 25th weddding aniversary and two of their four children, boys 6 and 13. All were very impressed and entertained and loved the chance to hold the creatures brought up by Diver Ed from the deep. His comments while collecting the specimans were also entertaining. This was our second time to Bar Harbor and will make it a point to take this tour again when we hopefully return in the next few years. Also enjoyed the information given by Ranger Tony. With any luck at all, next time it will not be so cold. Thanks again for a great afternoon. Don and Penny Schroeder from Iowa..... | ||||||

| DIver Ed is one of those lucky guys who really enjoy their job! He is as fun as he is informative, showing us sea creatures that he brings from the floor of the ocean to his passengers comfortably seated in his fine boat. Hold lobsters, crabs, sea cucumbers, sea stars and more! The cruise takes you by Egg Island where seals are basking in the sun and close enough for some real good pictures. We even saw some young eagles on another of the islands we passed! | ||||||

| A trip aboard the Starfish Enterprise was so much fun. Diver Ed is as interesting as the many varied sea creatures he brings to the surface for learning and laughs. We will go again! | ||||||

Good for first timer... Not so for Adventure

| Sun, Sep 6 1:30 PM | DeepakRaina | Male | 20-29 | Domestic Tourist(s) | Group of Friends | |
| Its OK.. You get to see marine life although as video which eddi takes using his camera.... Really speaking its fun for eddi.... It would be exciting if we go in and see that marine life... But uncertified divers are vulnerable to accidents.... In short it is fun for children and not so for people looking for adventure.. | ||||||

| Super hero Diver Ed and his side kick Captain Evil provide an entertaining 2 hour ride combo dive in beautiful Bar Harbor Maine. The dynamic duo take you out to discover the area around Bar Harbor describing the various sea life you will encounter. Then the real fun starts once they drop anchor. Diver Ed dives down and video tapes the bottom of the bay describing what he sees while you watch it all happen live and dry on deck with Captain Evil's comments filling in the blanks. He then returns to the boat with bags of the various fauna found, puts them in tubs, talks about them then lets you and the kids handle them! How much better can it get? Diver Ed is careful to explain what dangers might be associated with the animals he's brought on deck but you see with what care he gives to each and every creature. After every one gets their fill Diver Ed then lets them all go back into the bay. I've done this trip 3 times and each time it has been different and no less entertaining. I highly recommend this outing to all! | ||||||

Kid focused boat ride opportunity

| Last year we went on a lobster boat ride with our 2 children, aged 2 & 4. My husband enjoyed it, but I spent most of the time trying to not have the kids be disruptive or fall over board. They were engaged for about 5 minutes. This year we went with Diver Ed. The focus was on the kids. They had a blast. The 5 year old said she loved pushing Diver Ed off the boat and the pictures we took show how much they enjoyed picking up sea stars, lobsters and crabs. I enjoyed myself much more and the kids did too. We all did plenty of laughing while learning a lot about sea creatures. To fully appreciate this trip your kids can't mind getting a little wet. If trying to get out on the water in Bar Harbor with young children, I highly recommend Diver Ed's dive-in theater. | ||||||

| ANYONE GOING TO BAR HARBOR SHOULD GO ON THIS BOAT. DIVER ED, HIS WIFE (AND THE DOGS) ARE SO MUCH FUN. THE KIDS ON THE BOAT WERE HAVING A GREAT TIME AND ALSO LEARNING ALL ABOUT THE SEA CREATURES DIVER ED (AND LIL ED) BROUGHT UP THE THE DEEP. | ||||||
