Diver Ed

What an enjoyable time! Great concept- an informative tour of the surrounding area and a scuba divers view of the ocean below. The kids were glued to the screen when Diver Ed was diving and then they got to hold everything he found! To top it off- his 2 newfs kept everyone company on board...We would definitely recommend this trip! (I rarely write reviews when asked, however, I feel this trip is a must for those in the area!)

As a science teacher, I so very much appreciate what these folks do! What a unique idea! It was so educational and filled with such awesome humor that everyone in my party loved it! Our group ranged from a two year old to thirty six and everyone had an unforgettable time! My four year old is still talking about it...and so is my husband :) The crew was the best. My two year old even got a kiss and hug from diver Ed. So sweet! Made us feel like family. We will definitely do this again during our next visit!

I had a wonderful experience at the Dive-In Theater Boat Cruise. It was a lot of fun, and certainly a unique experience. Great for all ages.

Diver Ed and crew can certainly entertain!! We had small children so the under water part took some interaction on our part to keep them with the activity. Once the animals were brought on-board they could care less where we were! It was very exciting and the little ones talked about it all weekend. From start to finish the best age group might be over the age of eight, but still a thrill for us. Great for the adults too and I learned a lot. One note on the directions, meet at the shark skull would be helpful.

Great time.

Great activity for seeing and learning about some of the marine life in Frenchman's Bay. Our grandchildren learned a lot and loved handling all the marine life. The adults in the group also enjoyed the "show"

Hours of complete fun, seeing sights from underwater we'd never otherwise get to see. Children and adults enjoyed every minute. Video full of smiling faces. Diver Ed and Captain Evil are amazing.... so is their equipment, the underwater life, and the way it is all presented. Perfect afternoon.

It isn't often that you come across someone who clearly loves his job. We came across two of those people when we met Dlver Ed and Captain Evil. Their joy in conducting Dive In Theater comes across loud and clear - and it makes the experience all the better. Our 9 year old daughter loved the whole thing - from Diver Ed's life jacket drill (involving a huge Newfoundland dog) to pushing him overboard in his dive suit to having a sea cucumber dangled above her head. A unique experience and well worth your time!

Very nice trip,excellent for kids, fun with education!

Diver Ed and Captain Evil deliver a fantastic adventure for the whole family. You get a relaxing cruise around the harbor while learning about local marine life. You even get to hold the creatures that Diver Ed finds before he safely returns them to the ocean floor. Diver Ed is hilarious! This is a must when you visit Bar Harbor !

My family and I (4kids and 4 adults) went on this tour. We felt welcome from the get-go!. From the life jacket demo on the Newfoundland dogs, to "Captain Evil", and Diver Ed. All things were explained in a detailed, yet entertaining way. Diver Ed went to collect sea life samples, then we got to see him collect the samples. Diver Ed and Captain Evil give a running commentary.. The people on the boat get to see and touch all the sea life. My 5 year old was not thrilled about being so close to a live lobtster. With Diver Ed's entertaining way, we did persuaded him to touch the lobster (the next day - he got braver and actually touched things at a real tide pool). Captain Evil, explained to the adult members of our party about how old Lobster can get, what kind of research is being done on lobsters to help humans (ie how can they see so far down in the Ocean). The staff is extremely knowledgeable and very willing to share their love of the Sea. I highly recommend this tour for all ages.

The Diver Ed team was organized and provided a fun cruise that was informative AND entertaining! Everyone in our group, from 3 to 40 years old, had a great time on the boat watching the antics of Diver Ed (and mini-Ed, too!). Everyone jumped at the opportunity to touch the sea creatures (especially the sea cucumber- blech!) and help set them free after we all had a chance to view them. Ed and Captain Evil spoke with each and every passenger, which gave a very personal touch to the cruise. We also loved meeting the dogs! Good job guys!!

I went with my 3 year old and we had a blast! We'll be going again next year.

loved this. Great for all ages. Diver ed and captain evil are hysterical.

Something of interest for all ages, from toddler to grandma. Entertaining and educational. Will go again!
